From the sandstone ledges of Carlandcheek we headed for...
...the dark basalt ridges of the
Heads of Ayr.
Offshore, banks of low cloud obscured Arran as we caught every small...
...wave and sped on to Ayr.
The unmistakable outline of a type 45 destroyer loomed out of the mist. Recently, we had got used to seeing
HMS Dragon on her sea trials but this is her younger sister,
HMS Defender.
In no time the kayak sailors had passed Greenan Castle on...
...their way to Ayr, leaving...
...Jim and I to enjoy the day's brief blink of sunshine. This brought another wonderful sea kayaking trip to a close.
The World is full of natural and man made disasters and troubles and in comparison what we do might seem trivial. It is true that our little trips are nothing more than inconsequential escapism. Well the World needs a good deal more triviality and much less trouble. In case you think I have lost my marbles, we were just wondering how many sea kayaks you could get for one type 45 destroyer?
