Wise words Peter. The Paddle Logger app also has a safety function built in that will notify a nominated contact if in difficulty or overdue. Take a mobile, use a leash and wear a buoyancy aid!

I also recommend the Safetrx app which can be downloaded free from the RYA website to a smart phone. Once registered and activated, the app will track your position and can be monitored by Coastguard. Peter Robinson. RYA instructor, BYC
