Seti says that getting a boat or private watercraft at a winter boat show will guarantee that you simply discover the boat you need simply because dealers are motivated to sell.

"Our dealers are receiving their 2006 orders now and these units take up a great deal of space at the dealership," said Seti. "Dealers tend to get motivated after they see a crowded sales floor."

The nautical specialists at www.BestofBoating.com supply the following guidelines to help you get ready for a winter boat show:

* Strategy your attack. Research boats and individual watercrafts prior to the show and map out the exhibits you need to check out. By preparing ahead of time, there is significantly less chance of becoming distracted.

* Take every day off. Program your go to to get a weekday, when shows are much less crowded. This tends to make it less complicated to inspect boats and talk with manufacturers representatives and dealers.

The Green Bridge of Wales

 Its been a while since Ive got the boat out, almost three months in fact, my longest dry spell.  A few reasons.  The obvious one being the weather, Ive also had and still have an elbow injury, and simply a lack of enthusiasm.  Finally however halfway through April, for one day only, it feels a little like Spring.  After a 5am wakeup call I join James, Gareth, Marcus, Simon, Gerwyn and Gary for a long awaited trip along the southern Pembrokeshire Coast.
A low water launch from Freshwater West makes for a very long carry.  Notice those who brought trolleys have began to launch while Gerwyn and myself carry our heavily laden boats the entire distance of the beach.
James above breaks through the surf to the calm waters beyond to begin our trip, which will eventually see us finishing at Stackpole Quay.
Almost this entire trip is within the military firing range, notice the various military buildings above the sands.
Around Linney Head and the limestone cliffs rise steeply out of the water preventing any chance of escape from the elements of the sea for quite some miles ahead.  What a fantastic start to the journey...
James clearly dwarfed by the 350 million year old rock.


Various stacks and arches reached out into the sea up ahead.
A gentle swell allowed us to get up close and explore the nooks and crannies while allowing for a little fun... 





Time to explore some caves and this one was absolutely huge and passed right through the cliff.

Above Simon waited patiently beneath this huge overhang, clearly waiting for a few subjects for a photo opportunity...
..And what a photo it made!  A natural iconic landmark of Pembrokeshire usually photographed from above, The Green Arch of Wales.

You may have to look very closely in some of todays pictures to spot the kayakers dwarfed beneath the huge towering cliffs. 
Just beyond the Green Bridge tower the Elegug Stacks...

I struggled to get a good shot of the stacks because they were so huge so I paddled quite a way out to get this shot above, again spot the kayaks.  

This section of coast just kept giving and giving.  This narrow causeway was spectacular, again rising high out of photographic reach.
It then led into a cave like entrance.
 Looking back I dont know really what to call it, a causeway within a collapsed cave?
Further along Marcus spots a cave but paddling in reveals its a collapsed cave (cave without a roof) with emerald green waters.
Further along the coast is Huntsmans Leap, where tradition has it that a horseman jumped the gap, only to look back and die of shock from what he saw.
You can spot the kayaker, Gareth, above but can you spot the two climbers?
A short distance in a small cove is St Govans Chapel, built in the 13th Century on a site of a holly well that once attracted pilgrims.   
Around St Govans Head we make our way into Broad Haven for a long awaited lunch stop, by now I had my breakfast 9 hours ago.
Back on the water in the bay of Broad Haven with Church Rock on the horizon.
It was only a short paddle to Stackpole Head and we were able to pass though two of the caves through the headland, popular with nesting sea birds.   

We glide now through glassy waters in the afternoon sun past the beautiful Barafundle Bay and though this sculptured small arch and onto our destination at Stackpole Quay.

We finally land after 5 hours on the water at Stackpole Quay, originally built for the export of Limestone for a nearby quarry.  We get out of our damp kit and relax in the sun outside the tea room with a warm drink.
I take a short stole up the coast path with superb views to the east as far as Caldey Island near Tenby while the rest of the group go back to pick up the cars. 
A track our our paddle off my phone app which I usually use for mapping my running and cycling but seems to work well with the paddling also.  A brilliant paddle once again made all the better for the great company. Not quite sure if it beats the Witches Cauldron paddle but definitely up there with the best.
