Imagine you are at the edge of the sea on a day when it is difficult to say where the land ends and the sea begins and where the sea ends and the sky begins. Sea kayaking lets you explore these and your own boundaries and broadens your horizons. Sea kayaking is the new mountaineering.

Sea kayakers get fresh on Loch Uisg, Mull
After a long, hot portage, the kayaks found themselves in the cool fresh waters of Loch Uisge. In the distance, Craig Ben Lodge nestled in the woodland between mountain and loch.
A little road ran past the church and alongside the shore at the east end of the loch.
A golden eagle soared over the steep slopes above.
An approaching horizon line signified the end of the loch. Our destination, Loch Buie lay hidden, 16m below us, in the gap before Beinn na Croise, 503m.
All too soon, our delightful sojourn on Loch Uisg came to an end...
...and our next portage began.
