"I really like your videos. I love watching them. Please keep sending videos, and thank you very much."

[@getwet501]

@kayaktarragona849 thank you very much 😁😁 I've a few more awaiting editing right now and many more adventures planned!

[@kayaktarragona849]

@ uaauuuuu😀💪👏👏👏

[@stevenhulbert7540]

Enjoyed the landscapes, the cloud formations, the calm waters and going through the canals, thanks for showing it all.

[@getwet501]

Thank you 😁

[@benthekayaker]

Great video. Always love when kayakers keep the natural sound in their videos with music. Well done! Cheers!

[@ilmarirautio2229]

Could be even better without music.

[@pamfreeman5197]

I apologize for seeing so much out of order. But am I glad I didn't just pass this video by. It is SO enjoyable Bob! Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. I'll get there one day but it will have to wait a wee while yet. I loved everything about your filming. I hope more people get to see your videos and encourage you to make even more. Thanks again. Best wishes, Pam

[@getwet501]

Hi Pam. Thank you so much for your kind comments. I make these videos for myself, they provide great memories from my trips, but its very nice when others enjoy them as well😁😁😁

[@christophersmith7714]

Superb. Massive respect on an epic journey, beautifully filmed.

[@mrurga35]

Beautifully shot and scored. Understated and tastefully done. A rarity on KZbin now!

[@getwet501]

Thank you😁

[@janeseddon5500]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this trip. Thanks for sharing it. Scottish scenery is so good. Well done with dealing with the Corryvreckan twice.

[@getwet501]

Get the tides right and the Corryvreckan no big issue, some of the "lesser" races and flows round that area can catch you out though,

[@getwet501]

The Corry was very tame, neap tides and perfect timing to cross, but 20 mins ether way and its a bit lively!!

Gran travesía! Saludos desde Argentina

[@yakinsea]

Really nice, guys! I like the lack of drama (ironically usually in conditions that are rather tame accompanied by loud music). I have done many nice trips since retiring here in Oregon, the last being pre-COVID from Prince Rupert, BC (Canada) to Port Hardy on the open coast side, solo. COVID and aging companions knocked me off these trips temporarily, but hopefully I will be back in the saddle this summer as I am still in good paddle shape. You guys certainly wetted my appetite for more.

[@getwet501]

Thanks😁

[@JennyBroadbridge]

Gorgeous trip and well edited. Thanks for sharing!

[@iaincormack6169]

[@getwet501]

Thanks for the kind comment

[@lisakayakstoo]

Thank you for a lovely travel-along. You’ve whetted my desire to plan a similar trip. The video is very well produced! Thank you.

[@getwet501]

Thanks, its a super area to visit, precise tidal planning is important in most of that area.

[@mikebuckley8348]

Good tidal planning there, Bob!

[@Dfl87165]

10:42, just simply stunning!

[@getwet501]

Thank you😁

Beautiful, thank you 💪🏼

amazing journey

[@getwet501]

Thank you, yes it was a super trip

[@PaddleDogC5]

Nice 👍 thanks

Living the dream

[@getwet501]

Indeed!!

[@thehealthylifecodevizes2867]

Inspirational- can I come next time? 🙏💜💤

[@getwet501]

Thanks, we were looking for an extra body for that trip as it happens!!

[@josephinebennington7247]

Interesting climbs you achieved. Going by the altitude chart.

[@getwet501]

Mmm, i don't pay too much attention to the altitude on these Garmins to be honest, not sure if they are accurate on small altitude changes. I do use the speed and distance info while I'm paddling though, and its fun to see your trace when you get home

[@josephinebennington7247]

@@getwet501 I was amazed it showed any altitude at all……sea level is sea level, unless you’re facing a 30m wave.

[@getwet501]

@@josephinebennington7247 ah but the tides races are so big in the area sometimes you can physically see a 2-3m level difference ahead of you.... not that I'm excepting that to register on the Garmin either😁

[@josephinebennington7247]

Good point. Going out in a low pressure, wind pushing the tide, Storm Surge with a Garmin could be interesting. And probably dangerous…so don’t.

[@malcoppock4255]

Outstanding video, bet it was deer...

[@getwet501]

Thanks...🤣🤣 mine was goat though😂

[@eberhardkoch1576]

Thank you very much for the superb and perfekt videos! Dreaming of West Bretagne FR. The water is much warmer there in summer...17°;-). Do you know a Dealer in europe who sells the Berghaus tent you are using? Good luck from Germany Eberhard Koch

[@getwet501]

Thanks. I got my tent from Gooutdoors in the Uk, they do on line sales, not sure if they will ship outside UK though

[@eberhardkoch1576]

@@getwet501 hi Bob, Tank you for your answer! Inspired by your Videos, I ordered a Cairngorm in Scotland...had to pay over 70 € import tax but I think it's worth. Hopfully I will set it first at Finisterre FR. Waiting for more exiting videos from Scotland Eberhard germany

[@getwet501]

@@eberhardkoch1576 excellent. I think they are great tents for sea kayaking, not too big, but useful space to give some comfort levels when the weather goes bad. Enjoy

[@kayasper6081]

Those carbon paddles you use, what brand is that?

[@getwet501]

Mitchel blades, made in the uk, great quality, nice to use, competitive price, fully adjustable with a join that doesn't wear or stick like some of the more widely used brands 😁

[@kayasper6081]

@@getwet501 Great, that sounds very interesting. Untill now I use "one of the well known English brands" and exactly like you say; the joint wears out and formed even a circular crack. And with nothing less than THREE of my previous paddles the blade broke off. Let's see if Mitchell ships to Spain. Thanks!

[@bikeboatboard]

The music from Transformers?

[@getwet501]

Sorry, no idea where its from

[@LifeisGood-ye8rl]

What kayak are you using?

[@getwet501]

Hi, its a Northshore Ocean 17 in carbon/kevlar.... i love it😁
