Most memorable moments
Catching a fish for the first time! We had paddled out into a shallow, calm and incredibly clear bay and moored up on a buoy. The bait (worms) was stored in their box within a plastic bag and dangled off the side of our SUPs (you’re meant to keep them in the fridge but for us that wasn’t an option). We felt like proper explorers – maggots in bag, flippers on, penknife in hand. Jay chopped the juicy maggots in four (just as the fisherman had told us) and swung the line into into the water. We would have tried to catch more but our hunger got the better of us so we paddled to a little beach taverna for lunch. We showed the waitress our freshly caught fish and she explained it was a Perca and best eaten fried, which she kindly did for us.
