"It's Thursday and you're not working!"

That was Liz's comment today as we had a great 20km paddle north of Ardnamurchan.

Such are the delights of working for oneself. It's the freedom to starve, but at least you are your own boss.

The north easterly wind and westerly swell gave lively conditions along this lovely part of the coast. We skirted the boundary between the white water and black, enjoying the surge, ebb and flow of the sea.

Rather than launch at usual spot in Loch Moidart, we launched from Ardtoe. We found ourselves out in the exciting stuff a lot quicker.

We gradually made our way north to Salaman Island near Glenuig. A cracking good day.
