The regular staff of seakayakphoto.com are not the World's greatest circumnavigators...
...but our new honorary member, John Willacy, does have a reputation as a rather fast circumnavigator (Anglesey, Isle of Man etc.) so we felt we could not let the side down. Honour was at stake, so we set off on a circumnavigation of the Craig...
...all 3.84km of it! We soon passed Stranny Point and came to the Water Cave but as it was low tide, we could not paddle inside.
About 35-40,000 pairs of gannets breed on the rock...
...and the air was thick with them.
To the north, the sun broke through on Arran...
...but under the dark overhanging rocks of the Eagle's seat...
...we were still in the shade. The guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes that nest here had not yet arrived. We had completed our circumnavigation in good time.
Sounds like the island of Dr. No.
