One Paddle at a Time
Our Sea People aren’t just out there on sailboats or powerboats, we’ve also got a whole crew of human-powered boaters. From stand-up paddleboarders to kayakers, our community has been tracking their adventures, and we’re excited to share some of our favorites with you!

On the lookout for Dingle's famous Dolphin called Fungie!
📍An Doirin, Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland
"We paddled so far out! I can't believe how far we went.
We visited the headlands called Thunder Cove, where the waves sweep in during a storm and swell up into the cliffs Besides that, we saw a dog, a donkey and a man playing his flute. One of the most Irish things I have ever seen, for sure!
The town of Dingle is famous for the Dolphin called Fungie who led thousands of tourists in and out of the bay for decades. Unfortunately, people haven't seen Fungie for a few years."

Nature sets our rhythm in Sicily
📍North Atlantic Ocean, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy
"Nature sets our rhythm here in Sicily.
On clear mornings, I take the kayak out to explore the Anope and Ciane rivers. Both flow into the bay of Syracuse, where our boat lies at anchor. The first stretch, from the boat to the river mouth, is always a little thrilling. Mullets leap out of the water around me as if to surprise me. With some careful paddling I manage to dodge them. Luckily no fish hit me in the head, phew!"
