A happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to all our readers!
As I write, we’ve just watched an excellent segment of the BBC series Coast covering the West Coast of Ireland, including some great stuff about curraghs and an interview with Tim Severin of Brendan Voyage fame.
I’m telling you all this because you can see it too via the BBC’s new BBCi Player feature. Follow this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/, go to the A-Z listing, click through the programmes beginning with C, and there it is. But be quick – it’ll only be there for seven days.
PS – I notice that old pal Chris Partridge of Rowing for Pleasure is saying the same thing, so it must be true!

I learned something from this video, and will try paddling my own little canoe this way some day – hopefully without getting too wet.
