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 Swedish carry on but no Indian curry in on Colonsay.
We carried our camping gear up to the machair in Ikea Fracta bags.
There was a lovely golden light...
...as we put the tents up.
David and I soon had dinner heating up our the Primus Eta Power stoves but Phil's meths Trangia was not producing much heat.
He left it in disgust and went off to phone for a carry out Curry. He was most distressed to learn that the Royal India do deliver to Colonsay Drive, Newton Mearns but not to Colonsay Island, Inner Hebrides! He has since bought a Primus Eta Express stove.
Sea kayaking campers have a lot to thank the Swedes for!
