First Sea Kayak of the Spring

by Rachael


I arrived back in Kilchoan yesterday for my easter break, and it was lovely coming back to the village in spring sunshine. Today has been overcast with sunny intervals, so we decided to get the sea kayaks out for the first time this year.


The sea was calm, and although the sun was around, the cloudy sky made the sea a grey-blue colour, reminding us that the water is by no means warm enough for a swim yet! We headed west along the coast, hoping to spot some wildlife, but the shores were quiet today. Nontheless, it was nice to get out on the water again! I'm sure the Diary will be jealous, as he recently emailed to say that the sea kayak hire businesses in Vancouver are not open yet. He'll just have to wait until he comes home :)

  1. After a cold, kayak-less Vancouver, the Diary has moved inland, across the Rockies to Edmonton in Alberta, to find the area buried under a metre of snow. Such is Spring in canada.
