[Paddlewise] Thinking about a First Boat

Hi There,

My name is Mark McGillivray and I am based on the West Coast of Scotland, on
the Firth of Clyde, near Glasgow.

I took up kayaking seriously about six months ago, attending my local club
and making good progress. I obtained an old kayak of unknown make (a general
purpose boat about 14 ft long) to practice at weekends at my local lake and
tried it out on a few trips.

I'm now at the stage where I'm thinking about a new boat. My ideas are
leaning towards something like a Perception Carolina, as I have the
opportunity to do a lot of flat water paddling on lakes, but I am also
within ten miles of the sea, and I have heard that it is also a good
beginners boat for a budding sea kayaker wanting to try out coastal
paddling.

Your thoughts and advice would be appreciated?

Thanks

Mark
