Out exploring parts of Scotland I never thought I’d get to. Stunning land/sea scapes in Hebrides! #seakayaking #travelwriting #getoutside #adventurewriting #kayakforecast

Happy to see a copy of Moderate Becoming Good Later in this picture of Stanfords. The two Scottish book shops I visited this week had sold out.

Paddled 22 km around the beautiful island of Kerrera. My 4th time in the #malin #shippingforecast area. Across some shipping lanes and choppy sea, past impressive castles & ancient rocks. Lovely #seakayaking #getoutside #scotland #travelwriting

Daringly venturing where Toby wouldn’t have gone… this months woman&home magazine! A lovely article about both our adventures and the book. Thanks! Summersdale #travelwriting #seakayaking #shippingforecast #adventures #Grief

Looking forward to chatting on the Book Club on #mossymorning on BBC Jersey next week and to visiting beautiful Jersey for the @JerseyWordFest the week after.

Due to popular demand (i.e more than one person asking) I’ll be doing an online presentation of the book on Sept 14 at 7pm Uk. Whether you’ve read it or not, see some of Toby’s photos and videos behind the imagery in the book. Sign up here: katieannicecarr.com/event/online-p…

Off for a swim before my talk at @JerseyWordFest this afternoon. I’m ready to share my story writing the book as well as Toby’s paddling the #shippingforecast #grief #adventure #writinglife #seakayaking

Glad the talk went well yesterday. Sorry to anyone who finds they can’t put the book down!

Just about to leave Jersey after a brilliant time at the @JerseyWordFest. My talk was well attended and received (phew!) and we sold all the copies of the book on the island. Hopefully Waterstones will have some more in next week.

Just thinking about my next speaking gig. Looking forward to appearing at the @kendalmountain on Nov 19. Apparently it’s quite booked up already. Get tickets here tickets.kendalmountainfestival.com/events/19-11-2…

Great to hear Katie Carr (Toby and Katie Carr) on this episode of Paddling the Blue talking about Moderate Becoming Good Later, her brother Toby’s love for paddling and life, and how paddling the Shipping Forecast is bringing her closer to family 🌊 Listen here paddlingtheblue.com/e/99-katie-car…

Had a brilliant time at the @kendalmountain festival and the @KendalBookFest lovely to have a full audience and to tell Toby’s story and my own.
