I am trying to think through the logistics of it and it seems possible and beautiful, but am unsure the timeline. I am reasonably fit and would like to push myself a bit to complete it, any ideas of how many days it could take (full days on the water) and any potential perils that I may be overlooking? I know the New Ross segment is tidal but that would just involve timing in line with the tides. I think the Barrow is relatively calm and super scenic too!
I would really appreciate any thoughts/ advice!!
