Our Friends in Loch Teacus

You know you're being watched in this quiet corner of Loch Sunart.

The seals are used to boats, so they don't all slip off the rocks into the sea as the kayak glides past. Some just stare, making sure you're no threat.

A new otter hide has been built between Carna and the mainland, and we did see a couple of otters - but not here.

Full route with tidal stream info and more photos in the Scottish Routes section of SeaKayakRoutes.com.

Bertie had an even closer seal encounter here.
