Februari 2025
Vi började februari med en vecka i Trysil. Supergött att få åka lite skidor och se snö och fjäll. Underbart. Att vara uppe tre veckor var verkligen kanon. Återigen är det tydligt att det är extra gött att låta saker ta tid. Hemma kom vi igång med blöta bad igen efter tre veckor med snörull.…

February 27th – Discovery (#10)
I paddled out to Cadboro Point to join Dan and Paulo for the usual paddle around the islands! Conditions were great – current assist both ways! Though it was calm, it was too cloudy to see Rainier and Baker. Plenty of Steller’s sealions on the rocks by Seabird Point. BTW I just noticed that GPS…

We often think that the weather and destination are the key to a great paddling trip. But is that always the case? I believe that the perfect ingredients for a great trip are much more… The post Ensuring great paddling experiences – it’s all about the ‘who & how’… appeared first on Scottish Sea Kayaking.

Port Huron to Home Expedition
A version of this story was originally published in Ocean Paddler Magazine. I took the trip in 2011. The shore, obscured by fog, looked gray, and the hard edges of the three-story mansions separated by tall fences soften in the mist. At each house, a metal breakwall extended 30 or 40 feet out into Lake…

February 26th – Gonzales Bay (#9)
I joined 14 others from the “Wednesday Group” for a paddle from Cadboro Bay to Gonzales Bay by way of Trial Island. We had nice conditions throughout except for a bit of a headwind for the lasy km or two. Water was pretty high and currents were generally in our favour. As we started out…

Teistpollen midtvinters! Går det an?
Å sette kursen mot Teistpollen om vinteren er nesten dømt til å mislykkes, men siden jeg allerede hadde mislyktes med plan A (finne et sted å parkere og sette ut et annet sted) så gjorde jeg det likevel. Det er bra båthavn i Skjellfjorden, der man bare kan vippse en liten avgift og så er…

February 22 – San Juan River (#7)
I went for a solo paddle up the San Juan as there seemed to be little surf this morning. You can definitely see the difference in speed up and down river due to the current. Lots of buffleheads, a couple of great blue herons and a belted kingfisher. I see lots of channels to explore…

Indre Eidsfjord til Straumen
En «passelig fin» dag var det tid for å samle 10 på skjæret-postene Indre Eidsfjord (bildet) og etter hvert Straumen ved Håkabogen. Litt artig å se hvordan busken på denne holmen vokser år for år, men faktisk mindre enn jeg kanskje ville trodd i utgangspunktet. Med på turen denne gangen var Ulf, som sanket disse…
