A personal comparison with five-foot seas

Have you ever kayaked in five-foot waves?

Yes. An experienced guide helped the group stay together and reach safety after conditions changed quickly off the Cornish coast.

Wind and waves changed rapidly during a group kayaking trip off the Cornish coast recalled by Alex Clarke. The group kept together and reached a beach under the guidance of an experienced instructor. They were much closer to shore than the Frankton raiders had been. Several people were seasick, adding a practical comparison with the conditions faced by the canoe crews.
