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.

The basking sharks of Coll and Tiree
Just back from a 120km trip out to Coll and Tiree.
We went fishing...
duh,duh,duh, duh, duh...
...but quite quickly we packed our rods away.
A Cetus is quite a long sea kayak...
...and it took some time...
for these little fellows to pass beneath us.

Doug, if you did not have street cred I would be yelling: fake.
ReplyDeleteBloody awesome!
The sheer size of the fin on that puppy indicates that I would be staining my paddling shorts :-)
Now, don't tell me that you just dunked the camera with your hands in front of the shark to get the those underwater pix...
Very nice! I am jealous!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Gnarly, yup I just stuck my hand in the water and waved the camera in sharkie's direction. I was careful to switch the flash off mind!
ReplyDeleteOf course what you have to realize is that in Scotland it is the midges that have a worse bite than the sharks!
Peter, thank you!
