I love this site about sea kayaking. Yes, I can barely manage to keep a regular kayak from tipping over, so sea kayaking is quite an ambition for me. But it's an amazing way to be close to nature, be nearly part of the sea, and to travel with the bare essentials across wind and water to see some amazing places. They've been a lot of the places I've traveled either on land or during my sailing trip last autumn; they've been a lot of other places that I'd love to go.

They also have a super section on mountains...

I've kayaked several times now, but I've had only one experience of sea kayaking so far, a day of lessons I had while staying on the isle of Raasay (here, since I'm always happy to give them a plug). Sea kayaks are MUCH tippier than whitewater, recreational, and sit-on-top varieties, so it was a constant struggle to stay upright (which, of course, I only lost right at the end...) I'm hoping it's one of those things that gets easier with practice. :-)
