My Kayak Wears Sun Screen..

Advantages: Good fun for the whole family, Vertually un-capsizable..
Disadvantages: You get wet without the plugs...

...yak board is a kayak that can be sat on top of instead of inside it this is what attracted me to them as I have always had I fear that I wouldn't get out if I capsized it somehow. This way I would feel safer because if I capsized I would just land into the water and not be suck underneath trying to get out of the kayak. These sea kayaks are designed for use in the sea and slow moving rivers but they also work well canals, lakes and even ponds. These are the smallest kayaks that can buy for the use of adults. This ocean yak is a lot shorter than a normal kayak, the shortness is designed to cut through waves making it very easy to handle during very extreme waves, not only will the shortness help with using the kayak but it is also fantastic when it comes to transporting it. We have an estate car and these fit perfectly in the back, but...

Kayaking The Tasman

Advantages: Fun, adventurous, amazing views
Disadvantages: Weather dependent

...Abel Tasman is a New Zealand National Park located just outside of Nelson on the North Coast of South Island. With its golden beaches and clear calm blue seas its the perfect place for sea kayaking so at Easter 2005 a group of four intrepid GAP year students set out with Abel Tasman Kayaks to explore the park. Fortunately the weather was good, because although the company run thorugh winter, I think good weather makes the whole experience a lot more enjoyable. Being short on time we undertook a guided day trip - Beaches and Islands - which cost $99 per person. This includes: A kayak trip, a water taxi from Marahau to Anchorage and back, a substantial lunch and a guided bush walk should you so desire. The groups are relatively small - about 12 people, or 6 double kayaks and the first part of the morning is meeting your group...

Besides the sea

Advantages: "We joined the navy to see the world?."
Disadvantages: "And what did we see? We saw the sea." (Irving Berlin)

...?I must go down to the seas again, To the lonely sea and the sky.? (John Masefield) Never fear; I?m not about to start waxing lyrical about the sea. I?m more in the Irving Berlin camp than in the Masefield. I quote the lines above to illustrate the fact that even the most feverish of fanatics for the sea has to admit that maritime views are limited, consisting as they do of just two lonely elements: water and sky. And it?s stretching a point to include the sky, which can equally be seen above land as above sea. So, essentially, we?re talking about water. Water, it might be argued, is not entirely monotonous to look at. The sea has moods, which it expresses in the colour of its complexion. Sometimes, it can be a tranquil turquoise, sometimes an inscrutable indigo, sometimes a grudging greeny-grey. Occasionally, it rears...

Review of Where is the best sea view?

A beginners guide to kayaking

Advantages: its awesome and exciting
Disadvantages: it can be dangerous

...Ok first things first this is going to be a long review so before you start reading go get yourself a mug of tea or whatever your partial to!!! In this review I am going to cover Kayaking as a sport and I will include all the things you need to know to be an expert on kayaking like myself!!! Water grading This is an essential piece of information that every kayaker should know otherwise your putting yourself at serious risk. Basically all white water is given a grade depending on how hard it is and they range from I to VI and this a general description of them: Grade I: very easy white water that is barely discernable from flatwater Grade II: slightly harder and you can begin to see some water features (stoppers, holes, waves etc I will come onto river features) Grade III: I regard grade III as entertaining but not difficult...

  (SEA) MONKEY BUSINESS!!!!

Advantages: amusing, entertaining, cheap,
Disadvantages: none really.

...It was my son's Birthday a couple of weeks ago, I was wondering around Toys r us when I came across the educational section, My son loves Science at school so I thought I would buy him something scientific. I saw these Sea Monkeys and thought they looked interesting, I didn't really know too much about them at the time but thought for £6.99 they were the perfect present. What are Sea Monkeys? *************************** Well I wasn't sure myself at first what these things are, but apparently sea monkeys are just tiny eggs in a packet that are kept in suspended animation until you hatch them into the water. They are kept in instant life crystals for years, which preserve their lives until they are ready to be hatched. Sea monkeys have been around since the late 70's but are uncommon. They are a hybrid variety of brine shrimp...

All at sea in the hands of a Doctor

Advantages: Nice light comedy
Disadvantages: The story and most of the film in general

...Simon Sparrow is now a qualified doctor and working as an apprentice in a practice in London. He finds that not only is he doing all the work while his boss heads off to play golf but his bosses daughter is dead set on getting her hands on him. Deciding his only recourse it to run away he does the time honoured thing of escaping to sea. He manages to get a job on board a merchant navy ship... with no women on board! A trip to a port is something all the crew look forward to but on their first stop on this trip they pick up a couple of passengers, the Chairmans' daughter and her friend, a beautiful young singer. How will the arrival of two women affect all the lonely men on board? Doctor At Sea (1955) was the second of the seven Doctor films made throughout the 50's and 60's and is, like the first in the series, very typical of British...

The many types of kayaking

Advantages: great fun,
Disadvantages: None

...There are many different types of kayaking here is some information on them. White water paddling: White water paddling is all about getting yourself in horrible situations and then finding a way out of that situation. People enjoy white water kayaking so much because of the adrenaline rush you get when You hit that wave in the water and get flipped over backwards. To be a white water paddler you must first be good on flat water. It is also handy if you can roll ,but it is not essential when you first start. But when you go onto bigger water it is Trust me you do not want to swim in big white water it is very scary. Playboating: Playboating is all about cramming yourself into a small boat. Taking it in white water and flipping it over, cartwheeling it and doing whatever tricks you want. Playboating is all about expressing...

SEA SPRAY FOR MERMAID HAIR

Advantages: non sticky, enhances curls, hair stays soft, good hold
Disadvantages: boring packaging, not a very exciting smell

...When it comes to beauty products, make-up, hair care and the like I am a somewhat fickle individual. I have cupboards full of things I?ve used once or twice but I always seem to find an excuse to buy more. I?m sure when I go shopping for such items the sensible part of my brain just shuts down and I become an advertisers dream, seduced by rows of eye-catching packaging for things I don?t just want but obviously really really need. I bought GHD Sea Spray hairspray at the hairdressers; I find I become especially vulnerable at the hairdressers. It?s bad enough in Boots where I can just pick and choose what I want to buy but in the hairdressers where a plastic pumped, collagen filled botox beauty is persuading me that I simply cannot live without said product, I find it all too easy to give in. I?m sure I am not the only one who just...

Review of GHD Sea Spray

See sea holly in flower soon

Advantages: Pretty , attractive to butterflies
Disadvantages: Spikey

...I treated myself to a garden plant this weekend a sea holly, Eryngium bourgatii. This is a very pretty plant with green leaves divided into spikes in a frost pattern. This mound of dark blue/green leaves have silver veins in them. A stout branched stalk will grow up from the leaves to about 60cm. This stalk will have small dense, blue cone shaped flowers these each have a spiky silver blue rosaceous collar of leaf underneath it. This plant is very attractive. The flowers are really a fantastic Oxford blue colour. Eryngium bourgati is a native of Spain,, the Pyrenees and Med coast . It likes chalky sandy soil well drained soil so I hope it will like my Chiltern chalk. The best position for this plant is full sun. It is a perennial frost hardy needs little water so should be simple to look after. I bought my plant for £5...

An Octopuses Garden By The Sea

Advantages: underwater tunnel
Disadvantages: vastly overpriced

...Deep Sea World in North Queensferry under the iconic Forth Railway Bridge bills itself as Scotland's national aquarium and a fun filled venue for a family day out. The aquarium is easy to reach by car with ample free parking, a nearby railway station and bus service from Dunfermline. The first thing you will have to do when you arrive, depending on the time of year, is queue up for tickets. There are markers at various points along the queue telling you how long until you will reach the door, expect to wait up to an hour at peak times. You queue along the quarry which is supposed to hold seals but was empty the last time I visited. Spending ages in a queue is not the best way to start a visit anywhere and this is one of the many reasons that we do not visit anymore. Once you get inside the first area you come to is a main hall...
