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.

A camp by the Dogs.
After unloading the kayaks...
We set up camp and climbed the hill behind the beach where we glimpsed tomorrows destination, the Garvellachs on the horizon.
Looking the other way we caught sight of the Grey Dogs tidal race on full flood. That standing wave is about eight feet high.
The tide fair rips through the gap at over 22km/hr.
