vi att “nästa månad vill vi tälta och sova ute
oftare” 😉 Så blev det inte, vi har visst

On Friday 29th May Scotland moved to Phase 1 of the route map through and out of the Coronavirus
crisis. Initially, cautious steps have been taken - and rightly
so. The initial changes allow people to meet with one other
household at a time in the outdoors, to resume activities where
distancing can be maintained like golf, fishing, walking and paddle
sports - but with the guidance that this should remain locally
based.
These are welcome steps, a sign that there will be a return if not
to normal, then to a new normal beyond the lockdown. And they
come as Spring has, in the space of a few days, turned to
summer.
Fields of Rape are dazzlingly bright against early summer skies,
the heavy scent carrying on a warm breeze.

With all the darkness that is in the world
right now, and to everyone who faces their own internal struggles
on a daily basis, how about we embrace our humanity and carry this
straightforward but compassionate message into the new month
ahead.
En vanlig tirsdag ble det tur litt på impuls, med Alexia og
Fred, til kringelskjæret. Ikke lange turen strengt tatt, men
på en vanlig ettermiddag etter deadlinedag på jobb var
det greit nok at det var kort.
Kringelskjæret er en 10 på skjæret-post, herved
dokumentert. Jeg hadde den fra før da, men tror den var ny for
de andre i år.

Anche l'Inghilterra è uscita dal lock down imposto dalla
pandemia di coronavirus.
Lo scorso 13 maggio il Governo della sola Inghilterra ha avviato la
cosiddetta fase 2.
In Galles, Scozia ed Irlanda del Nord, invece, le cose procedono in
maniera diversa.
La British Canoeing ha quindi attuato dal 14 maggio nuove direttive
per i praticanti delle discipline di pagaia, in accordo con le
direttive sanitarie già diramate dalle istituzioni
centrali.
Colpisce la tempestività e la chiarezza espositiva, come
è già stato nel caso della Francia di cui abbiamo parlato
la scorsa settimana con un altro articolo su questo stesso blog.
Mentre in Italia le nuove disposizioni normative sono state seguite
da ordinanze locali che hanno richiesto più di qualche
interpretazione e precisazione, in Inghilterra le pur criticate
scelte del governo sono state anticipate da una serie di
chiarimenti offerti dalle varie categorie di settore.
I took the paddleboard out to check the crab traps and came home
with a nice limit of dungeness crab! The board is big enough and
stable enough that I was able to bring up and bring in the traps.
The weather was beautiful and the sky clear enough that I could see
all the way to Mt. Rainier.

Nu,
jæklar, skulle vi ha onsdagspadling fra klubbnaustet! Uansett!
To ganger hadde vi avlyst på grunn av guffent vær og lav
temperatur. Nå meldte det guffent og vind, men noen
plussgrader, så nå skulle det bli klubbpadling om jeg
så skulle padle alene!
Jeg
revurderte da Harstad avlyste, men jo. Padle. Jeg revurderte da
Harstad sendte melding og spurte om vi tenkte å ha padling?
Ja. Padle. Jeg revurderte da vi var to påmeldte og begge bor
på Sortland, litt teit kanskje å kjøre til
Stokmarknes for å padle da. Men jo, flere skulle til
klubbnaustet. Og så meldte Fred seg også på. Padle
fra klubbnaustet. Og som vi ser her, vi ble fire – Trond
meldte seg også på.

I went for a short afternoon paddle with Tony who as also trying

clear skies and a good view of Mt. Rainier.

1. mai kombinerte jeg jobb og padling. Jeg skulle møte ei dame
på ei hytte, og der var det fortsatt en god del snø den
vanlige veien. Så jeg ble anbefalt å heller komme
sjøveien. Jeg satte derfor ut her på Smines, i et
fantastisk, og omsider litt vårlig (men ikke veldig varmt)
vær.
At jeg padlet dit var praktisk på flere vis. Da var jeg
også kledd for å kunne gå ut i sjøen og ta
bilder, noe som ble foreviget fra land uten at jeg fikk det med
meg. Artig.
Från Dan Caouette och Clear Stream Custom Water Craft:
en ny snygg och välbyggd Frej, byggd för en
kund – och med en ny och spännande variant av
Maroske linbeslag!
Hello Björn,
I wanted to let you know that I recently finished and delivered
a new Frej for John Power in Northampton, MA. He originally
purchased the plans and milled the strips the forms. He approached
me this winter to build it for him when he could not find a
suitable space for the construction.
The kayak is built from 3/16” (4,75 mm) thick western red
cedar and laminated with “S” glass and bio-based
Entropy Resin CLR epoxy. The hatches and adjustable rope-operated
skeg are from Kajak Sport in Finland. The deck is finished with a
very traditional Kirby Company (New Bedford, MA) marine paint while
the hull has a high-tech, very rugged, silicone-based epoxy bottom
paint called “Wetlander" from Wearlon (NY).
The final weight, completely outfitted, is 35 lb (15,9 kg).
I build in the winter months and most of our waters are frozen
solid when the boats are complete. I don’t often get a chance
to paddle the commercial boats I build.
A beautiful, warm and sunny evening tempted me to sleep out under a
tarp again - and while lockdown continues in Scotland the only
available option remains the most micro of "micro-adventures" in
the garden. The tarp is an Alpkit Rig 7 which offers almost limitless
pitching options as it has so many guying and lifter points.
This set-up is a simple one but was very effective on a night which
was forecast to be warm but breezy.

On this date in 2000, I began paddling around Newfoundland. That
first night, I only made it up to Pouch Cove but the next day I
crossed Conception Bay and the journey had begun in earnest. For
the next three months, I lived out of my kayak, paddling in fair
and foul conditions (mostly foul, for the first month or so),
keeping the island to my left. 1800 miles and 91 days later, I
returned to the starting point again, paddling slowly back into the
quiet little harbour in St. John’s, closing the circle and
giving me the greatest summer of my life.
It would be impossible to overstate the effects that expedition
has had in my life. The simplicity of the task, combined with its
sheer immensity, taught me the value of incremental progress. I
learned to savour each mile and to celebrate each victory, no
matter how small it may seem at the time. Big accomplishments are
made up of many little victories; they do not just appear, as if
by...
All things (particularly
cancer and coronavirus, fie on both of them!) considered, I've
really had a wonderful Memorial Day + Birthday Weekend. There was
enough good food that I may do another post about that, but the
best part of the weekend was that by pure coincidence, the Sebago
Canoe Club reopened after 62 days (not that I was counting or
anything ;-D ) closed while the city and state dealt with the
initial onslaught of COVID-19. Marinas were among the facilities
closed by order of Governor Cuomo, and although I don't think of
our club as a marina, that's the category under which we fall. The
club closed on March 22nd, as I vividly recall because a friend and
I happened to sneak out for that one last paddle that day and only
found out about the ruling when we came back to find the gate
sealed with a lot of packing tape wrapped around a sign that said
"CLUB CLOSED". Oops.
The weekend once again gave opportunity for longer walks - two
routes of just over 20km each and both starting and finishing at my
front door.
The first route was on Coiliochbhar Hill, a 533m/1749ft wooded hill to
the south of the river Don near Alford. I've climbed this
hill several times, but each time from the south. I took a
different route, and found it a very tough day for such a small
hill. This image is the view to Lord Arthur's Hill
from Coiliochbhar Hill. The Correen Hills, and
particularly Lord Arthur's Hill have been the mainstay of my long
hillwalks during the lockdown period.
Jørgen og jeg var ikke de eneste der havde aftalt en rotur
denne tirsdag. Et par satte i Gammelåen, og Peder og Hans
fulgtes med os ud ad kanalen.
Vel
ude af den satte Jørgen og jeg kursen mod Gavnø, der
hurtigt blev passeret i det gode vejr. Godt inde på Fladstrand
holdt vi en lille pause og nød naturen. Viber, skarver, svaner
blishøns, en enkelt rørhøg og adskillige
småfugle sørgede for lidt at kigge på og en fin
lydkulisse.
For most of the past week, things have been pretty normal (if
you call being trapped in your house, only interacting with other
people via screens, and wearing face masks outside normal.)
Routines are wonderful things and we have finally hit upon a basic
routine.
Child has regularly scheduled online classes and daily
assigned school work to complete along with some other basic
expectations like getting some exercise, maintaining personal
hygiene, and cleaning up after herself. (Yes, she does fight
against the unbearable amount of toil that her unimaginably
horrible, "the worst, most rude" parents ask of her.)
H has finally started just excepting that her job is basically
just punching a clock to meet requirements since one really cannot
do much one on one counseling when students don't show up, parents
stay in the room, and there are no "classroom" issues to really
address. (Yes, there are still periods of angst about being a total
failure because one of her colleagues has much needier students who
do show up for sessions and another one is a type A childfree busy
body.)
Aside from running interference, doing 24/7 tech and emotional
support, and trying to keep child focused o doing school work, my
job is still the same clock punching, frustrating slog to provide
tools to over privileged worker bees who toil away making it easier
for the 1% to suck the 99% dry while using the least amount of the
9% possible. (Yes, the facts of my job and my general sent...
Jan og jeg havde et stykke tid snakket om at tage en lille
forårstur. Maj måned har været med blandet vejr, men
op til Kr. Himmelfartsdag så udsigterne fornuftige ud til en
tur rundt om Møn. Vi har været på så mange
ture, så planlægningen strakte sig til at finde
mødetid og et startsted. Resten af planlægningen var "som
vi plejer". Jan har telt, Trangia, aftens- og morgenmad, og jeg har
frokost, drikkevarer og Kelly ketle og kaffe med. Vi har begge
også lidt mundgodt med.
Jeg hentede Jan torsdag morgen, og vi tog en tår morgenkaffe
inden vi læssede kajak og oppakning og kørte mod
Ulvshale, hvor der er en parkeringsplads lige ved stranden.
Snart sad vi i kajakkerne og var på tur. Vinden var i syd,
så den mærkede vi ikke meget til. I stedet kunne vi sidde
og undre os over et mærkeligt fartøj der nærmede sig
kysten. Da vi kom nærmere kunne vi se at det var en
slæbebåd med en pram hvorpå der stod et
mærkeligt tårn. Et tjek på en marine app
afslørede at det var slæbebåden Wol...
Memorial Day. This is a strange one, this year. It feels
different.
It’s a day is typically reserved for recognizing the
sacrifice of those who fought and died for our country, those
“forgotten heroes of a forgotten war,” as Shane McGowan
would put it. Somewhere between the barbeques and the Memorial Day
sales at the mall, we might take a moment to think about who they
were. We should, because they were just like us, and we need to
know the things they learned so dearly.
But now, with the number of Americans who have died from this
current pandemic about to top 100,000, Memorial Day takes on
another dimension. One. Hundred. Thousand. That’s more
that have died in the past two months than in all the war years of
Vietnam and Korea put toget...
Prima che iniziasse il confinamento imposto dalla pandemia di
coronavirus, abbiamo avuto la fortuna di condividere per tre giorni
con il maestro galiziano Manolo Pastoriza una straordinaria esperienza di costruzione di pagaie
groenlandesi.
Il primo fine settimana di marzo, cioè l'ultimo prima della
dichiarazione di zona rossa per la Lombardia prima e per l'Italia
intera poi, ci siamo quindi ritrovati a Latina, presso la nuova
sede di Tatiyak, per trascorrere tre giornate tra pialle,
cavalletti e trucioli di legno profumato.
Ne parliamo soltanto adesso perché sembra che finalmente si
possano riprendere tutte le attività che per quasi tre mesi
sono rimaste sospese e perché speriamo che questo racconto per
immagini sia di buon auspicio per ripetere l'esperienza nel corso
della prossima primavera!
Pensandoci adesso, non avremmo potuto chiudere in modo
migliore!

I had an early start and paddled out to Cadboro Point to meet
Dan and Paulo for a paddle around the islands. I could see the
silhouette of Mt. Rainier as I paddled out from the beach but it
was hidden later. I saw both California seal lions (near Cadboro
Point) and a Steller sea lion (near Seabird Point). The current was
ebbing strongly and I had to set a 45+degree ferry angle for the
crossing back across Baynes. You can also see that we got a pretty
good assist from the current going down the east side of the
islands.
I went for a morning paddle, hoping to get a paddle in before
the wind picked up. I was mostly successful and got a bit of a wind
boost heading from Cattle Point to Flower Island. I had a nice view
of a California sea lion near Evans Rock. :)

In a bank shaded by a large Copper Beech tree at the edge of the
garden, a clump of English Bluebells (Hyacinthoides
non-scripta) have flowered - the second year they've done
so after we transplanted a few bulbs some years ago.
These lovely flowers, when seen in large numbers, give a violet
glow to woodlands which is actually quite difficult to depict
accurately on camera. they are associated with ancient
woodland and can be a good indication of where a woodland once was
- good examples are found at Eilean Fhianan in Loch Shiel and Ailsa Craig in
the middle of the Firth of Clyde. In late spring and early
summer Ailsa Craig's slopes are carpeted in violet blue -...
Nu har det hänt i år igen. Sjösättning av en
ny kajak en vacker ledig dag. Min Black Pearl är byggd i
Paulownia. Mått o vikt blev 548 cm/48 cm/13,2 kg.
Väldigt nöjd efter första turen. Jag hade inte
tänkt bada och så blev det inte. Mycket trevlig kajak,

behövdes inte alls idag.
From the Smithsonian Institute is a
model bark canoe with various accoutrements including decorated
paddles. The full listing cites the 47cm canoe model as being in
the St.Francis - Abenaki style with exterior sidewalls decorated
with a red line, blue dots and blue scallops.
The canoe includes two matching paddles with rounded grips and
diamond shaped blades featuring notched shoulders. The blade area
is divided into faded red and blue hemispheres painted on the whole
blade. The items were purchased by William C. Sturtevant in 1987
from the collection of Colonel C. B. Dyneley, but I believe this to
be in error. Colonel Thomas Dyneley (1782-1860), later Lt. General,
was commander of the Royal Artillery in Canada from 1847 to 1852
headquartered in Montreal. In 1838, Colonel Dyneley was given
the British title of Companion of the
Order of Bath, which allowed for him to use the initials
CB after his name. In 1853, Dyneley...

Searching for kayaks, in general, can be a difficult and
time-consuming process. There are so many different features to
look for and so many different types. Not to mention, each of the
different brands sells certain kayaks for varying prices. It can be
even more difficult to try and find a kayak that’s
specifically designed for women.
Women tend to have smaller bodies and are more flexible.
Heavyweight kayaks are definitely not the best choice for a lady.
So, women should look for lightweight and portable yaks. Given
that, most standard kayaks just aren’t the right fit for
them, making their kayak buying process even more difficult. For
your convenience, here are the best kayaks for women as well as
some things to consider beforehand.
Weekends aren’t what they used to be for most of us, which
may or may not be a bad thing. Either way, we’ve made it to
Friday once again, and that in itself is an achievement. A few of
the things that went down over the past seven days that stood out,
at least as relates to local items of interest, Ikkatsu Project
programs and what approach to take for the second half of 2020,
include:
A sewage spill in the Foss Waterway, in downtown Tacoma. It

“Sarcopenia is the name
given to the condition of age-related muscle loss. After the age of
forty, the human body begins to shed muscle tissue. Slowly at first
(and there are methods of counteracting the effects for a while),
but as the smoke clears from the candles on your fiftieth birthday
cake, the process is well underway. You can alter your diet and
exercise schedule as much as you like, but time will not be
denied.”

Over the years, I’ve built a few canoe and kayaks without
any formal instruction. When I started building, formal instruction
wasn’t available where I live, so I mostly learned how to do
it from books. Just like sentences are pulled together by a
paragraph, books help to pull together all the steps of boat
building. If you are good at following instructions and have some
skill with building, you end up with a boat that will float.
I’ve managed to collect just a few boat-building books over
the years. Here is a list with a short review of those that
I’ve collected.
This article was originally published back in 2008....
Trolling is a great method for fishing which is loved by many
fishermen. One or more fishing lines with lures or baitfish are
drawn through the water by a moving boat, fishing kayak, or canoe.
However, in practice, many anglers feel confused when they use
multiple lines for trolling as the lines could tangle. One way to
reduce the chances of tangling is to use an inline planer board.
Actually, the inline planers are very useful and innovative, but
still not very popular. That’s why we decided to review the
best planer boards for sale on the market.
The sunset on the evening of 18th May was nothing short of
majestic. What began as a faint pink blush in the sky
suddenly developed into stunning shades of amber and molten
gold. The sunset is now in the northwest here in
Aberdeenshire, the bearing approximately 310 degrees or 40 degrees
north of west. In a month, at the solstice the sun will
hardly dip below the horizon before it skims up again in the
northeast.
Fun and relaxing kayaking trip on a warm summer day sounds
great, right? And, probably you think about renting or buying a
kayak for your next adventure. However, when choosing the right
kayak for you, there are several key considerations, and the kayak
weight limit is one of them. Maybe the most important if you are a
heavy paddler or planning
to take a lot of gear for your trip. And, now the answer.
Every kayak has a weight limit and it varies according to its
size, design, and purpose. It is not a set-in-stone rule, but most
of the recreational, touring, and ocean kayaks have a weight limit
of 250-450 pounds, most fishing kayaks have load
capacity in the range of 350-550 lbs. Of course, tandem kayaks have
a more generous maximum weight capacity of 500-650 pounds.
But what actually is the kayak maximum weight capacity?
What is a kayak weight limit?
The kayak weight limit is a key specification of every kayak
that shows the recommended maximum load in pounds a kayak could
carry and still stay above the water. This number helps the
paddlers to choose the most suitable kayak for them according to
their own weigh and the weight of all the gear they are planning to
bring. But, more on that a bit later.
Last Saturday was the originally scheduled date for the 3rd
Annual Tacoma Shoreline Survey. It has since been postponed
until September, a stretch of time that seemed fantastically far
out in the future when it was first made. In those naive days of
late March, nobody really thought any vestiges of the lockdown
would possibly be in place as far ahead as September.
It doesn’t seem so far away now though, does it?
Hopefully, the restrictions will have eased by then, because the
virus is “… going to disappear. One day it’s like
a miracle, it will disappear.” Hope is not a strategy,
however, and we’re...

I went for an afternoon paddle around the bay. It was very nice
and sunny and there were lots of people on the beach. Also many

I saw some friends paddling across Baynes channel and went out to
chat with them.

Sjösatt: en mycket storspecial-Frej för en storvuxen
paddlare.
"Hi Bjorn,
It has been quite a while since you adjusted your plans for Frej
for my weight, and I started building. She has been finished for
approximately a year and a half now. I recently started thinking
about building another kayak, and realised that I never told you I
finished it. I am extremely happy with my Frej. She fits me like a
glove, and does everything I expected her to do. Even with the
extended length of +/- 5.7 metres she is extremely maneuverable. A
tiny bit of lean makes her go anywhere I want. I can roll her quite
easily, and yet she feels very stable in the water. I actually
prefer the way she handles in the waves over totally flat water,
but that might also be because I enjoy the waves so much :)
In the attachment a picture I took while I was on a course at
the Dutch 'waddeneilanden' with Nico Middelkoop. I also have a
rather low quality video of most of the build at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-4T-8I9MWw
The weekends give opportunity for longer walks, and once again
routes on the Correen Hills have been the logical choice, walking
directly to and from home on long circuits. Both days had
similar weather with early rain clearing to give bright and breezy
conditions, flotillas of clouds racing overhead and clear
air. The freedom and space these hills have offered through
the lockdown will be long remembered, great striding routes where
other people are seldom seen.
