Marstrand
After a nice Sunday we had an even better Monday. I had to go and have a meeting with my job on the small town Marstrand on the Swedish west coast. And as that meeting (and dinner) was in late afternoon I took the kayak with me and took a short trip from Tjuvkil to Älgön and back. About 15 km in three hours. I kept a good speed.
As you can see on the photos the weather was fantastic and just about 0°C.

Advent Sunday and Alaska video
What a beautiful day!
This is the last Sunday of November and it's also the First of Advent (Advent Sunday) this year. I was again out with Friluftsfrämjandet in Lysekil for a day trip with our kayaks. I think we were about 25 or 26 persons that took the trip around Flatön south of Lysekil on the Swedish west coast.
As it was a windy day and some were not that used to kayak in heavy sea we stayed inshore all the time. Good call as both the air and watertemp are rather low this time of the year.
I did have my GoPro with me but I didn't like the what I filmed this time. Too much salt on the lens. I did do a roll at the end in the frigid water and had my friend Anders filming with the GoPro. But he turned it around the wrong way :)
So instead I here post a long video from my trip in Alaska this summer..
Anyway it was a magical weather this beautiful day.

A cold blue day
Today it was only a short trip on the Lake Vänern for three hours. I waited until about 11 AM for the temperature to rise a bit. The air temperature was about -1°C and in the water 5°C.
A few boats are still in the water at Sunnanå marina but most of them are out of the water now. I saw one guy with his boat out fishing, a tough dude :) But the real tough ones are out kayaking!
And my customary roll was done at the end of the trip. It's getting cold to do that now.
The photos show what nice blue colors it was today and don't miss the movie at the end of the post.
