Pauline, Kim and Robert came across from the east coast for a kayak session. We had great conditions on the water again – sadly I’m getting used to sunshine everyday, soon the weather’s going to realise it’s over Scotland and that it should be dreich!

Kieran and Caroline enjoyed a sunny morning canoeing from Gairloch Harbour. The crystal clear waters were great for spotting wildlife in.

James, Finlay, Peter and Tabitha came out in kayaks around the rocky coastline, we even did a spot of kayak caving!

Shanthi, Christopher, Rohan and Rafael came kayaking to have fun whilst learning some paddling techniques and seeing wildlife. The Waverley paddle steamer even made an appearance to add to the day!

Stephen and Andrea came canoeing, exploring the craggy coastline on the calm waters in the sunshine.

Alan and Cora had been paddling with me a few years ago, recently Alan bought a kayak and they wanted to come out to practice some techniques and more importantly how to rescue each other if they fall in. It’s an essential skill to keep yourself safe for all kayak owners.

Albert and Sarah spent the morning paddling with me around the rocky shoreline at Mellon Charles. When we stopped on a beach for our brew break we got a good view of a young otter scampering along the beach in front of us.

Nicola, Kate, Benedict and Iona joined me on the water for a sunny time paddling around the coastline. Like most trips lately we saw a good selection of jellyfish – this one is known as a Blue Jellyfish, it’s similar to the Lion’s Mane Jellyfish and will give you a nasty sting if you hug it.

Tani, Timo, Isabella, Justin and Daniel’s house overlooks Longa, they’ve been keen to get out to it since they’ve lived there. The weather was perfectly calm, so conditions were right for a trip out to the island.

Young Alexander and Theo along with Philip, Emma, Andrew and Maria came out in kayaks to have some fun leaning how to paddle.

Alec, Victoria, Ben and Adam came kayaking on a still and blue sky day. Recently I’ve been coming across quite a few of these big Barrel Jellyfish, like all jellyfish they’re pretty impressive but these are huge! You can see a moon jellyfish over to the right to see the size difference.

Donna, Tanya and Dervile spent the afternoon exploring the rocky coastline south of Gairloch.

Greg, Laura, Logan and local lass Esther came for a splash in kayaks this morning. It was nice to have them out on the water again, last time we’d been out in canoes on an equally sunny day.

Gemma and her brother Mark came for a spin around the loch on this sunny afternoon, perfect weather to be out in boats!

Scott, Morven and Amy came kayaking from Gairloch harbour. Despite one of them being a little nervous of water they all had a great time on the boats and spotting the wildlife.

Duncan was bought a Ewe Canoe Voucher for his birthday and we finally got organised to get out on the water. He was using his own kayak and wanted to learn some paddling techniques.

Michael had been out with me in the past, this time he brought Jayne along to join in on the fun. He’s already booked again for August! It’s not far up here from his B&B down in Lochcarron, so easy to nip up for a relaxing paddle.

Laura and Stuart took a break on their NC500 road trip to enjoy the coast from the other side.
