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.

Mull of Galloway to Gallie Craig
After the excitement of the Mull of Galloway tide race, we proceeded in a westerly direction, round Carrickcarlin Point.
Far below the lighthouse, our kayaks were dwarfed by the the yellow and ochre coloured cliffs. We paddled on under the gaze of pointing tourists...
...until we disappeared from their sight in the huge Seal's Cave hidden far beneath their feet.
From the lighthouse we wended our way...
...through a series of skerries towards the pointing rock fingers of Gallie Craig.
