PADDLER 26
We landed through the surf waves and had lunch on the beach . Some people had hiked there , and Chris made friends with them , and then they took a picture of the team .
PADDLER 26
We had to figure out the
best way for our planned campsite . The directions where the swells came from made it challenging . The line was through a narrow passage between rocks , with waves giving us surf . It was a pretty cool task . It went well . We put the camp up . My neck was irritated from the drysuit gasket , so I got some healing cream from Oscar . I went to poop , and I had the most beautiful view ever . Then I made dinner with the help of Lukas . The sky had such a beautiful pink colour . We had sheep walking around in the camp , and Chris tried to make friends with them .
In the evening , I sat for a moment for myself . I shed some tears when I thought about all the people who supported me to be me and follow and listen to my heart . I felt so present , listening , feeling , and lying down .
What a day , I have learned so much today . The last tip of the day was to take our dry suits into the tent so the sheep do not eat on them . What a pro tip !
DAY 2
In the morning , I looked at the map and memorised the route for the day . I looked at the landscape , and based on yesterday ’ s observations and today ’ s weather , I pictured what the conditions could be like at different sections of land . Oscar made porridge for breakfast . He asked me for advice . He said Scandinavians make much better porridge , and he wants to learn and impress his Finnish wife , Maija . We drank Mate and started to kayak around 11:00 at low tide . The narrow passage where we came through yesterday was impossible to go through . The other line , where big swells broke on rocks yesterday , was calmer today and allowed us to take that way out of our bay . We had sunshine .
Once again , I was amazed by the beautiful coastline . So majestic . Super big mountains are rising from the sea to the sky . So wild . The first part of today was scary . It was when we rounded a prominent headland sticking out in the ocean . The headland ( not the one in the picture ) was exposed to the swells and relocated the energies from the waves to different directions , creating a washing machine effect .
