Kayaking Solo From Islay to the Isle of Gigha - beating the storm. 

This video is created from footage from over a year ago now. It was early into my year long solo sea kayaking journey around Scotland. I had been faffing about on the island of Islay for a couple of weeks but never succeeded in circumnavigating it. Instead, I cut my losses and with a good dose of flu, decided to kayak to the mainland via the small island of Gigha.
It’s an open crossing of 16km from Islay to Gigha.
I was stormbound on Gigha for a day and two nights, before making the short hop to Tayinloan on the mainland.
