Stand UP Paddle Board Barbados

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is a fantastic surface water sport, where you literally stand up and paddle to propell yourself across the water.  SUP boards look very similar to surf boards but they are heavier and wider, which gives you more stability but a little less agility.  

Some sports just work for almost everyone and Paddleboarding is one of them. It's fantastic excercise, true cross training that gives a full body workout and no experience is necessary. You are normally up and off within five to ten minutes of hitting the water, after an appropriate safetly briefing.   We have been out paddling with folk aged from seven to seventy and it brings equall enjoyment for all.     Additonally, if you are not comfortable standing, you can sit or kneel. 

For anyone wanting to give it a try we have two full length Paddle Boards which are always on board.   If you are joining us on one of our lunch cruises, perhaps in between snorkelling with the turtles, exploring our coral reefs and investigating the wrecks you could steal a few minutes to try staying on top of the water and give this a try.  As you can see, even the dogs love it!

Young Sailors

We had a very special guest on board this week and we felt extremely honoured to to be able to take baby Kai, aged eleven weeks on his first ever sailing trip.  He is certainly the youngest guest that we have ever carried and he was impeccably behaved.  Greg, was clearly quite taken with him and the feeling was mutual as Kai took it as a cue for a well deserved nap.   
 
There are a lot of very accomplished young sailors, especially the truly impressive Laura Dekker of the Netherlands, who is the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe single handed.    Laura was 16 years and 123 days old when she docked at the St. Maarten Yacht Club, having covered more than 27,000 nautical miles. 

Laura is not alone, there are actually several teens who have sailed the world solo but neither The Guinness Book of Records, nor The World Sailing Speed Record Council, (which is the governing body of round the world sailing), recognise the category of youngest, or oldest.  We, however, are not bound by such constraints and Kai certainly holds our 'Youngest Sailor' award.

Never a dull moment

When you work on the ocean, there is never a dull day.  Today's excitement was when Jason, our superhero, made a spectacular rescue of a visitor to the island, who had capsized his Hobie Cat.  We only just saw him out of the corner of our eye, so had to make a quick tack back to reach him.  Jason, quite literally, dived into action and had the situation rectified in a matter of minutes.  Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words and thanks to Kelly, one of our guests, for being so quick with her camera, you can see the whole incident as it happened.  Intrepid action and reporting from 'Second Chance' today!
