Sardinia has over 2,000km of coastline. During October 2016 I circumnavigated the entire island, covering around 800km in 23 paddling days. I was accompanied for parts of the journey by Ingrid Kvale and Leanne Dyke. Battling winds of up to 50km/h and 3m swell, this journey was not the idyllic flat seas and sunny weather we expected from the Med.
