We left the shady beach on the east coast of Holy Island and paddled towards the north and the sunlight slopes beyond.
Crossing the north entrance to Lamlash Bay we took one last look back at the distinctive outline of Holy Island, the subject of our recent crusade.
Passing low Hamilton Isle, we made our way to the...
...tumbling slopes of Clauchlands Point round which,
Arran's snow covered peaks came into view one after the other.
Reluctant for our paddle to come to an end, we loitered in Brodick Bay as long as we could, as our ferry, the MV Caledonian Isles, steadily increased in size on the eastern horizon.
All too soon our time on the water was coming to an end. None of us knew it then, but this would be the last time that Tony and the second last time that Phil and I would paddle with our good friend Jim.
Your last picture is a perfect kayak image!
ReplyDeleteNot what I envision when I think of paddling Scotland! Thanks for the imagery. Looks Gorgeous.

Hi
ReplyDeleteMy name is Sammy Rodriques from a company called GearPods.
We make a modular kit container system called GearPods Connect. These containers make great kit containers that are durable, compact, configurable and, above all else, 100% watertight, even when submerged. GearPods are available in different sizes and colors. What makes this system unique is the way in which you can screw units together to form separate compartments. Here's a link:

We use GearPods Connect as the basis for a range of pre-built kits for first aid, survival, shelter, and cooking. Designed where weight and size are a premium, our kits contain high quality components and combine easily into systems. You can read more about our kits here:

To attach GearPods systems to kayaks, canoes and rafts, we have Sleeves that provide multiple attachment methods including a daisy chain:

We'd like to send you some samples to take a look at them and their applicability for water sports such as rafting, canoeing and/or kayaking. If you're interested, please can you email me a physical address that we can send the units to. Similarly if you have any questions or would like further information, please email me and I'd be glad to help.
Thanks! We look forward to getting some units in your hands to take a look.
Sammy
