  Sadly, it was now time to say farewell to the fabulous islands of Islay, Oronsay, Colonsay and Jura. We stayed out on the observation deck of the MV Hebridean Isles. We were lost in our thoughts of rocky mountains, dazzling sands, raised beaches and caves, ancient buildings and traces of our ancestors which went back ...

  Sea kayaking with SeaKayakPhoto.com — Authority: 127
  Once round Rubh a Chrois-aoinidh, we had left Loch Tarbert on Jura and now entered the Sound of Islay. We still had 14.5km to go till we reached Port Askaig and there was only two hours until we had to be on the ferry. There was some anxiety within the party. However, our detour round Loch Tarbert had allowed the tide ...

  It might have only have been 9:40am (and we might only have had time for first breakfast) but all four of us reported for launching/photographic duties......and soon the kayaks were afloat and waiting to transport us on a tour of Loch Tarbert, Jura. This must be one of the most beautiful but infrequently visited of ...

  Sadly, it was now time to take our leave of Colonsay. We had our last supper on one of her superlative beaches on the SE coast. The day was getting on, it was now about 2hrs 30minutes to sunset. We had paddled only 21km, since setting off in the morning, and still had a 15km crossing to our destination, at the mouth ...

  Sea kayaking with SeaKayakPhoto.com — Authority: 127
  The day was by now pressing on so we reluctantly left the shelter of Scalasaigs little Port na Feamainn (seaweed harbour). We rounded the low headland of Rubha Dubh with its automatic lighthouse. It flashes every 10 seconds showing a white light to the east and a red light to the north.We now entered Loch Staosnaig ...

  Sea kayaking with SeaKayakPhoto.com — Authority: 127
  We arrived at Scalasaig with every intention of making a cultural visit, inspecting ancient crosses and buildings. However, we are easily diverted and our boots had barely dried before we came across this sign for May MacKinnons Pantry! Not only that this Pantry was licenced!May and her assistant wondered if we had ...

  We continued SE along Colonsays coast line after leaving the abandoned fishing village of Riasg Buidhe. We came upon the planned township of Glassard (Glas Aird) to which, the former residents of Riasg Buidhe moved. Each new croft house had its own hay meadow and the men folk were able to use bigger fishing boats ...

The roofs of the houses were long gone. Only the first two houses had gables ...

  Sea kayaking with SeaKayakPhoto.com — Authority: 127
  The swell on the north west coast of Colonsay was about two metres and it pushed us steadily towards the north of the island. On the horizon, from the left we could see Mull, the entrance to Loch Linnhe, the Garvellachs, the rounded mass of Scarba then the north end of Jura. We felt very small and exposed out here.We ...

  Sea kayaking with SeaKayakPhoto.com — Authority: 127
  I have not been out for a while, since I dislocated my knee on Gunna. Four months of inactivity have left me pretty unfit. Phil, who has been paddling for less than a year, hadnt done any tidal paddling at all. So given it was a spring tide we thought it would do both of us some good to sample the tide races on the ...

  Fortunately our beach was protected by some offshore reefs...... and so was protected from the shore break that was hitting nearby Kiloran Bay. We launched without much fuss......so why is David looking so concerned?Well, we had to break through a narrow gap in the reef and every so often a little wave would make a ...

She is a winter spirit who ushers in winter by washing her plaid in the Corryvreckan and ...
