Adventures on the Sea

Where the sea meets the land
One of the most interesting parts of the sea is where it meets the land- the coast. It is also one of the most dangerous. The coast can be explored in many craft, and there is one called a sea kayak which has been developed for one or two people. The sea kayak is more suitable than a canoe because it has an enclosed top and more practical than an ordinary kayak because it has inbuilt storage lockers so clothes and camping equipment can easily be carried and kept dry.
Exploring
A Sea Kayak can be used to intimately explore even the tiniest inlet or sea cave, shallow water, reed beds, marshes, and lots more. Marine life can be observed with minimal impact, and in many cases the kayak will be accepted as part of the environment. For example, it will not be seen as a threat by dolphins, porpoises and whales, so as a platform to observe the environment, it is marvellous.
Explore- where?
The British Isles has a long and varied coastline which can be explored both with varying degrees of ease or difficulty.
Where to start?
Before you go straight into sea kayaking on the sea, it is advisable to be confident in an ordinary kayak or sea kayak on inland sheltered water. Here you can experience the weather and its effects without the added complications of tides and sea currents. So try lake travel first- you will get interesting and demanding weather and wave conditions to build your skills and competence.
When you have done that, find sheltered coastal sites with low tidal ranges and gentle currents to practice in.
Planning you adventure
Don't attempt too much, you are at the mercy of the weather and need to have lots of inbuilt alternatives including sitting and waiting for conditions to improve.
