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.

SKoogle!
SKoogle is a really excellent new sea kayaking search tool from Graeme Burton. Not only can you search for key words, it has a clickable map section. This will highlight many other sites with web pages that include photos, narrative, information, audio and video about places to paddle. Many European countries are already covered.
I used it to search my own site, the Scottish Sea Kayaking Photo Gallery, to find the above photo of Loch Caolisport.
I have been developing an index for the SSPG. Now I do not need to bother. Thank you Graeme!
