Deb Millar Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Bob and I paddled with Jim 4 years ago and I can't say enough good things about him and his guides/instructors (all ICU/BCU), the accommadations (we stayed at Maria's Guest House -- very funky and very fun -- which is owned by him and his partner) and the whole Cork/West Cork area.Deb M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahH Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 hi Bob,As Cathy mentioned, I just moved over from Ireland for the next two years. Have only dabbled a little in sea kayaking at home but have been paddling whitewater, slalom and LD for years and know plenty of people into sea kayaking in Ireland - if you want more info/contacts, drop me an email. Depending on where you are planning to go, there are various people who could help you out. I am assuming it is Jim Morrisey that the other messages are refering to?Am really keen to get on the water if it is at all possible. Hoping to get a car etc in a while but for the moment am on public transport and am boatless! Have the rest of my gear with me.Look forward to hopefully meeting some of you,Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob budd Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 At this time my brother's family and mine are being hosted by my mother on a trip to Ireland. We are likely to go in July. That's about all the plans we have so far. I would appreciate any recommended outfitters so we can make inquiries as our plans firm up. Jim Kennedy was the person Rick Crangle referred to, county Cork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahH Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 July would be one of the best times of the year for sea kayaking so you will get some great trips in. When you have an idea of where you want to go and the time you have, I can definitely put you in touch with a few outfitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
