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.

Arresting. Thank you, Douglas.
ReplyDeleteThank you Wenley! I hope you enjoy your forthcoming visit to Scotland. Who knows, you may even appear in the 2008 calendar!
ReplyDeleteThanks Douglas, an impressive set of photos. Afraid I'm a 1024x768 kinda guy, so I'll be writing a little script for converting me thinks. I notice the Scottish Sea Kayaking Photo Gallery calendar (phew!) contains a photo from outside Scotland. This must be a first! Do I get a prize for spotting it?
ReplyDeleteIncidently SKoogle is now blogging too!
Hello Grazie, I have now posted 1280x1024, 1024x768 and 800x600 over on the Scottish Sea Kayaking Photo Gallery site.
ReplyDeleteWell done for setting up a blog, I have added you to links on both SSPG and seakayakphoto.com
No prizes for the Jersey photo I am afraid! I have posted several from Ullswater in the past!
Yes, so we'll finally see photos of the enigmatic Wenley. Magnificent photos, Douglas. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWill he look more like Zorro or Bond?
Thanks for the 1024x768 images Douglas. Was the Jersey text under the photo on the original post? Maybe I need some glasses.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for blogroll addition, but as much I as would love to live in Scotland, I'm still south of the border I'm afraid. But for 2007 who knows?
Wendy I will attempt to capture a digital image of the elusive gentleman.
ReplyDeleteSorry Grazie, you clearly have honorary Scottish status!
Fantastic photos Douglas - on corryvreckan - what is the safe route through - what are the things to watch for?
ReplyDeleteHi Douglas,
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures!
Do you remember me? We met on the west coast of Ulva on 15. July. My Seakayaking Adventure in Scotland is now over and I have to go back at work on monday.
Greetings from Switzerland
Armin, it was great to meet you and I hope you had a wonderful time on the rest of your Scottish adventure!
