2023 LCC Celtic Sea Kayaking Trip Day 05 Wednesday – Mucklinagh Quay to Dinish Island by Chris Bolton
The day started with discussions about how far the tide had reached last night: whether the boats would have floated if they had still been beside the slipway rather than on it, and how far underwater Chris’s tent would have been if he hadn’t moved it (about 0.5m).

Most boats were moved back off the slipway for launching, as it was very much living up to its name. We were on the water for 8:30, and decided to not to explore the shallow bay to the North. Apart from it being a somewhat grey and uninspiring morning for exploring, we didn’t know what sea conditions we might find nearer the mouth of Kilkieran Bay, so the promised 5 star campsite with sandy beach might not be reachable, and time in hand might be useful.
