With an 8ft boat between Colonsay and Oronsay

Taking you away from Islay today for a boat trip. A boat trip in a rather small boat. It will take us across the Strand between Colonsay and Oronsay, which while you can walk or cycle across during low tide requires a boat during high tide. Ed has a boat which actually allows him to do both, use it as a boat and with the built in wheels tow it behind a bicycle. Here we see it in action as a boat:

And there's more, a second video with a too close for comfort encounter with some rocks and a (possibly curious) seal:

Ed has a few more interesting videos from his equipment on Colonsay, but more about that some other time. For now I hope you've enjoyed the boat trip with him.

Sharing and discussing. Opening up the discussion. Have your say:
