More tidal fun for Laura B on the Advanced Sea Kayak weekend, with a glorious sunny day on a chunky Falls of Lora focusing on catching waves, reading swirly water, and controlling angles to end up where we want to be. Then moving onto the big picture of tidal journeys in a glassy but deceptively fast Sound of Luing, riding the flow down to the Grey Dogs then planning ferry glides between the islands on the way back. Maximum recorded speed 20km/h! Well done team.
