Scottish Gales Friday, October 24, 2008

It's been a windy week in Scotland and we've only paddled 2 days in the Oban area. We had a fun paddle around Seil island 2 days ago, and a battle into a really strong headwind yesterday at Craigneish which was strangely satisfying. It took us an hour and 10 minutes to go less than 4km around 2 islands, and about half an hour to surf back! Other than that we've been walking and catching up with friends. Tomorrow we'll be at the Scottish Canoe Show in Perth.

"This is the Sea 4" is being well received. I've had loads of positive comments about the New Zealand and Queen Charlotte island expeditions, in particular. If you are still making your mind up whether to buy it, there are a few more reviews out to help you make up your mind!
