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.
Even by West of Scotland standards the weather has been poor. Its main themes have been wind, rain and cold. So I am cheering myself up with this August photo in the Sound of Arisaig.
