Purjolök
Purjolök brukar vi ha de flesta år, har dock aldrig lyckats med det från frö. Vi har köpt minipurjosar och satt härhemma. Brukar ofta bli bra. Purjo står sig länge på hösten/vintern och är tåliga. Här hos oss brukar dock rådjuren ge sig på purjolöken under sen höst eller tidig vinter. Tror inte de gillar … Läs mer… Inlägget Purjolök dök först upp på kajak.nu.

But I get a ride with […]

Skatvågen og desemberrulle
Det ble ganske sent før jeg kom meg av gårde denne helgen, så jeg valgte et sted jeg kunne følge land hele veien, i tilfelle det skulle bli i mørkeste laget før jeg kom meg tilbake til bilen. Dermed startet jeg ved Øra, for å padle ut til Skatvågen. Siden det var den kajakken som […]

I simply cannot stand to be in a dining room with maybe fifty noisily chatting hiking tourists, and to tell the same old story again and again. I am hoping my […]

Towing for Sea Kayakers
This is a controversial topic. There’s a lot to know and a lot to learn about towing. Kayakers have varying opinions about what system to use and why, and their opinions are often quite strong. At the end of the day, you need knowledge and practice to tow effectively. You never know when it might […] Related Posts: The Value of Rescue Practice – Cold Water Rescue Rodeo With… Playing in Tide Rips With A Sea Kayak Certification – What’s the Point?

Plastic Jesus
It’s seldom that you get to see a classic Iron Age ritual going full-monty on 21st century technology, but if you’re a fan of irony, you could hardly do better than this one. It seems that the practice of communion-in-a-bag is becoming widely popular across a range of Christian megachurches, proving not only that a …

My hosts are happy to carry my kayak about three hundred meters down to the beach, and my bags […]

Tomah Joseph Paddle
Another shot of the Abbe Museum’s Indians & Rusticators exhibit which ran from 2012 – 2013 and featured a full-sized paddle carved by Passamaquoddy Elder, Tomah Joseph (1837 – 1914). Source Link I’ve adjusted the contrast and flipped the image to get a fairly decent frontal outline of the paddle. The paddle has been discussed before in this […]

Doing some ‘homework’ while resting my skin for another day in air conditioning feels good. Going outside in the humid heat is not tempting. Maybe I am […]

The closest way to launch again on Saturday is down the road, not through the town. We can walk the short way downhill […]

52 CANAL DU MIDI
A veces no necesitas una gran preparación para hacer tu aventura. A veces sí. Para saber si basta con estar muy fuerte para hacer más de 400 km en kayak sin experiencia previa vas a tener que escuchar el episodio. Lo cierto es que en esta entrevista hablamos con alguien que es parte del equipo que unió (casi) el Mediterráneo y el Atlántico por el Canal de dos mares paleando en un K2 de mar. Para nosotros está conseguido. El canal de dos mares es la unión del Canal du midi y el Canal de la Garonne a través de

It felt different, exposed in a small tent in the middle of an extensive flat sandy beach. But […]

Novembertisdag på Skälderviken
Idag tog vi oss en liten tur på Skälderviken. Lite grått men ingen trängsel. Paddlade från ÄSSS och kajakplan ut på viken och sen söderut förbi Klitterhus. Riktigt gött när man väl kom igång. Inlägget Novembertisdag på Skälderviken dök först upp på kajak.nu.

Deep Breathing

PaddlingLight is Bad at Promoting Black Friday Because It’s Already Saturday
If I thought more like an affiliate marketer instead of a I-wish-it-was-still-the-glory-days-of-blogging blogger, I’d be on the ball about promoting all the sales going on across the internets. Instead, I’m dreaming about how I can finish my Winchell documentary (is there anyone out there that wants to help for free?).

Finnen går trægt og skal helst ikke trækkes helt […]

1000 baddagar i rad
Idag firar vi tusen baddagar i rad. Det är några stycken. Ganska många för oss. Ganska få för de som haft badstreak i många år 🙂 I mars i år bestämde vi att även snöbad/snörull räknades i vår definition på bad. Detta eftersom vi var iväg på lite skidsemester i Trysil 😉 Vi har förvisso … Läs mer… Inlägget 1000 baddagar i rad dök först upp på kajak.nu.
