Paddleboarder attempts first solo Shetland-Orkney crossing - The Orcadian Online

there is a tracking link in the article. I think he has two trackers (or is not doing it solo!)

He is beside Fair Isle, a bit to the W. I have no tidal atlas handy, but i guess he is allowing for tide pushing him E again. Good effort!

Quite a voyage

Early one morning ia couple of years back I saw something strange deep amongst the Torran Rocks, SW of Mull. Using camera telephoto saw it was a paddle boarder - in quite rough conditions.
Called Ciastguard as zero other vessels around but they said they were aware. Was going round Britain and already done E coast, Pentland Firth and Cape Wrath!

He made it to Sanday - good effort!

So is he a brilliant SUPer or a rubbish sailor?
