Lovön

Time for the last exercise before next weeks expedition. Peter is back in town.

Lillsjön

A short exercise run in messy waters – too many motor boats this time of year.

Found that there is a passage into Lillsjön. Nice.

Kyrkviken, Lidingö

A relaxing trip with Per in “old Dusty” (his kayak had spent a couple of years in his garage).

Sleepy time

First official day of vacation. A quick exercise run around the Drottningholm palace.

16 bridges

Another run around Kungsholmen and under 16 of the Stockholm bridges.

Svartnö

The Four musketeers planned a three day trip in the Soderarm archipelago this weekend. But Peters moving to a new apartment in October, so naturally he had to skip. The Three musketeers concluded that there were warnings of high winds and thunderstorms, so we skipped Friday. Come Friday and rain that was said to go on all over the weekend so the other Peter skipped too. The two muskeeters, Magnus and George Truly, decided not to camp in the lousy weather, so we were down to one day.

Vårbyfjärden

Today promised temperatures of 20 C. Although the last few days have been warm for this time of year, mornings i the beginning of the week was freezing.

Askrikefjärden

After a beautiful and sunny but freezing week that ended in snow – a gray weekend. So we went paddling. After a late start due to it being the first day of daylights savings time, we drove out to Fågelöudde at Lidingö.

Runmarö

March 15, season premiere, Temperatures around the freezing point. Lakes still frozen over, but the archipelago is open. Drove out to Stavsnäs, Forgot the warm socks this time, but the thin ones worked fine inside the dry suit and neoprene boots.

Kanaan on Christmas

Christmas day, perfectly suited for a kayak trip! There weren’t that many of us around this day, but in our small boat house a third enthusiast turned up (although no picture of him). The sandy beach was frozen hard as concrete.

Skanstull in darkness

We’ve talked about it for ages, but now was the time. Paddling in the dusk. As the sun sets around 4 pm at this time of year, we started around 3.

Riddarfjärden

We’re not going to give up this year, Peter L and I.
