Boating & Biking Adventures

Category: Kayaking

Rest of the week…

The rest of the week kept inviting us for more outdoor activities – namely kayaking and biking. Very little rain, no gales for a while but chilly temperatures. We stayed within the harbour boundaries as there was some old going swell outside in the Vestfjorden.

The Kabelvåg plaines remain my personal little gallaxy. The landscape is simply breathtaking and the distance about right to push my limits in terms of cold weather biking. Despite temperatures above freezing, we had some ground frost, which required additional attention. I have to praise the S-Works Tracer tyre again providing good grip even at these borderline conditions. Nevertheless a pair of studded tyres have arrived and shall be mounted soon to remain safe in the saddle through the winter.

Husk piggdeck for vintersyklingen !
Silsanden after a short and easy walk. It got it all.

Cloudy Impressions

The gale went through over night and had lost its strength at the time I did my morning walk.

The clouds kept painting the scenery throughout the day and the short one hour kayaking tour with Lille Poro  🛶 felt more like meditation than anything else. It adds another dimension.

Why the hack to leave this island?!?

It all started off with a morning walk...

Round Island Paddling (RIP)

It was a memorable and contemplative paddling today around the Skrova Island. Calm and slightly rough conditions playing hand in hand, just as it goes in normal life, sometimes. The buoyage in form of a crossing, also trying to give direction as shown on the photo; sometimes hard to understand but mostly helpful. I will remember this Round Island Paddling (RIP) for many reasons but one:

“On the ocean of life, we are all big ships, that pass through the night.”

I am getting used to Lille Poro 🛶, slowly. Nevertheless, keeping the VHF handheld radio ready in the grab-bag in case needed. Some people would smile about me, in rather good faith…I know that.

Kayaking Skrovøya

In no way, we spend the day with boat work below deck under today’s bright skies. The heatpump project has to wait.

Lille Poro 🛶 had to ditch into the water. The kayaking season does not stop with the summer in Lofoten and we need to practise and get prepared.

Fair winds…
