    Idag blev det en sväng på ån med ÄSSS. Fint väder men lite blåsigt. Riktigt skön paddling. Några oväsenbåtar på ån. En birk kom in från Skälderviken. Mötte några supare på ån en bit upp så lite folk ute. Inlägget Onsdagspaddling 3 juli dök först upp på kajak.nu – paddling verkar kul.

    I suppose it was bound to happen eventually. The insidious thing about plastic (one of the many insidious things about plastic), is that it is ubiquitous. It is there, no matter where you look.
