    En liten tur til Verholmen

    Egentlig padler jeg ikke i minusgrader, men i dette været ble det for dumt å trene innendørs. Så jeg padlet en tur hjemmefra, da kan jeg kle på meg hjemme og bare trille ned til havet. Jeg er jo litt smålei av å padle her, men det fikk så være. All padling er bedre enn…

    EMS Anatomy & Physiology – The Brain

    EMS Providers should have a basic understanding of the functions of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem, as these are the three primary regions of the brain, each with distinct roles.

    November 13 – Discovery Island (#29)

    I paddled out to Maynard (Smuggler’s) cove to meet Dan and Paulo for a paddle around the islands. Conditions were very nice with a favourable current for the outward and return trip! You can see our pace was fast for the outward journey around the east side. There was a little bit of lumpy water…

    Deception

    I’m currently working on a new guidebook for paddling the south Salish Sea. It’s a compilation of previous guidebooks, now somewhat obsolete, along with new destinations and a complete journey narrative from the southern end of the grand estuary to the Straits. I hope to have it ready for consumption in 2024. Meanwhile, as I…

    Bassänghäng november

    Igår var det dags för Bassängträning i Örkelljunga. Martin S från Helsingborg hade fixat. Örkelljunga simhall är perfekt. Vi var ett gäng på en dryg handfull som plaskade, balanserade, rollade och höll på. Någon ny rollare, någon ny handrollare, butterflyrollare osv. Jag hittade inte min näsklämma och konstaterade (igen) att jag verkligen inte gillar sötvatten…

  • Första paddlingen med nya Kåre

    Några mindre justeringar av roderlinor och sits/fotstöd så ska det nog bli som vanligt i kåren. Var småkyligt så tog hem till den garaget för kunna göra det smidigt utan kalla fingrar. #vituddenskanotvarv #vkvkåre The post Första paddlingen med nya Kåre first appeared on Kanotisten.com.

    Skumringstur til Gjæva

      Det har vært lite padling fra klubbnaustet i år, så da det var fint vær og jeg skulle padle en kort tur, bestemte jeg meg for å padle derfra og kanskje til Gjæva. Jeg var sent ute i dag også, noe jeg håpet skulle gi meg mulighet for å se morild i løpet av…

    November 10 – Chatham Island (#28)

    I paddled out to Cadboro Point to join Dan and Paulo for a paddle out to the islands. It was hard work getting out to the point with a stiff head wind and lumpy water. I said that I did not think I could do the whole circuit so we did a smaller circuit around…

    Länge sen vi var på Sofiero. Nu när det är Höstljus tyckte vi det var dags. Vi laddade våra Kulturkort. På vägen dit började det regna ordentligt men fem minuter innan vi var framme sprack det upp. Som vanligt så är Höstljus på Sofiero både mysigt, snyggt och välgjort. Vi gillar ju inte ljusföroreningar men…
