Sound up for this! Probably the deepest cave I’ve explored in my kayak. This can be found on the island of Wiay in Loch Bracadale, the Isle of Skye. The sea conditions were calm with hardly any swell. I explored deeper than I expected and wonder how many other humans have seen the depths of this sea cave before. I didn’t manage to see the end of it and by the sound, it went much further than I reached. I doubt if the conditions will often allow me to explore the depths again. It’s wonderful that this cave is in my kayaking back yard, so to speak.

An update. I’ll be in hospital for a few days yet. I require speech & language therapy as well as help with my eyesight which has been affected. I’ll be moved into a specialist ward. Thank you again for all your warm words of support. It’s lovely to know you are thinking of me.

I went exploring along the craggy coastline by my home and discovered this delightful water feature.

Spectral singing from deep within a cave. An incredible experience to enjoy.

It was wonderful to be on the sea again today. The first time in many months. It was a glorious day too, although I look rather peely-wally after seven weeks of hospital confinement. My kayak is by the shore once more & I intend to get out much more often. It's good for me. 😊

I just had share with you what I’m experiencing right now. I’m deeply moved by the profundity of life around me.

What sea kayakers get up to after a day of paddling in gale force winds! 😊

Where the fresh meets the salt. Here in Loch Leven with the Pap of Glencoe behind.

An update from me. I’m sorry it’s been a long while. Good news though, I’m feeling a lot better.

I love this wee burn tumbling into the sea in Tobermory Bay. It’s like a fancy water garden feature.

Last week I descended into a deep gloom & this weekend was written off because of dreadfully dark emotions & thoughts. I believed I was a waste of space. However, lessons I learned on my journey about my inner tenacity have brought me back into the light. A new week beckons. 😊

Kurt Hahn said “Your disability is your opportunity.” I often think if I didn’t live with chronic depression, I might not have embarked on this incredible journey. Hear the unrestrained joy in my voice when I exited the Shiel River this morning. #mentalhealth #SuicideAwareness
