This is my last visit to Scotland at a time when either Ana or myself are living here. We finished with the Arbroath sea cliffs, one of the great paddles of the East coast. Another great day with little wind but more was forecast for the afternoon. Here we launch in Arbroath harbour...
... and here our group is leaving the harbour.
There are many caves on this stretch of coast so the going is slow as most folk want to explore the caves and arches. Additionally, there are sports climbs but we did not see any climbers.
Here is Ana entering another channel or cave...
... and here Sheila et al are inside in one of the caves.
We broke for lunch at Auchmichtie, a former fishing village with a harbour ruin. Great to relax in the sunshine.
The tide then changed the direction of flow and the wind picked up as predicted and it all turned into proper ocean paddling with a few waves breaking over our kayaks. Here are Paul and Ana in choppy waters.
We will of course come back to paddle in Scotland and we hope that some Scots will visit us in Munich. We lose all this but luckily we also gain a lot in Munich as it is a city with good weather, culture, a nice place for us to stay and close to a lot of adventure (see the other blog entries).
