I have an inflatable kayak which fits in my car. I've been out to sea, in lots of Irish Loughs (Lochs), lakes in England and sea caves. Have a look at some of the videos of my trips below.
On Lough Corrib, in R.O.Ireland, I kayaked on a very windy, wet day to an island with a castle.
Here is the map (created from GPS data.)

This was much less windy (blowing in-shore) and within an fairly enclosed inlet, so safe to kayak to without risking being blown out to sea. It was about 3km from shore to island.

It was very windy today, but as I was on a lough, I knew I couldn't be blown out to sea. I also set off from a sheltered harbour into the wind, so if the wind was too strong, I would be blown back to the harbour.
