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.

From Loch Crinan to Loch Craignish
From the Crinan Canal we left the pub behind and paddled north across Loch Crinan to the sandy beach below Duntrune Castle.
This was a wonderful place to stop for a leisurely lunch.
From the mouth of Loch Craignish, looking out through the Dorus Mor to the Gulf of Corryvreckan.
After lunch we wanted to make sure the tide had built up to maximum flow in the Dorus Mor, so we took a little detour into Loch Craignish to give it some more time.

Seakayakcobber to paddle from home to Moldova!
There are so many sea kayaking expeditions going on it is difficult sometimes to keep track of who is doing what and where.
But here is one that jumps right off the screen at you! Jörgen, from seakayakcobber, is going to paddle from the lake, where he lives in the Netherlands, by river and sea all the way through the heart of Europe to Moldova (some 4,200km distant) passing through 11 counties on the way.
He is not just doing it because it's there, to be first or to be fastest etc.. He is doing it to help raise money so that children in Moldova who are born with congenital or genetic facial malformations can get surgery.
It's an absolutely brilliant expedition. He will need our help with sponsorship.
