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.

East Holy Island: a geologist's paradise.
Paddling north we passed old red sandstone cliffs capped by tertiary lava floes. Nimble wild goats were cropping grass right at the edge of the cliff.
Further north we looked back to the south. The rock here was a lighter and younger sandstone.
Arriving at the north end of Holy Island, the rocky granite ridges of Arran came into view.
