Disigt i sundet

Stilla ute i sundet
Utsikt från Barnviken – Görans röda Epic Endurance 18 som staffage

Liksom förra veckan dök Göran upp vid MKK:s brygga och vi valde att paddla ut genom hamnen för att slippa de två alltmer irriterande lyften. På det sättet blev det en kort kanalpaddling genom ett Malmö i senhöstfärger på köpet, och en lite längre paddling totalt.

Just another day on the job

Launching at Lomma beach
Launching at Lomma beach

So it was paddling today again - filed under "customer service". Kristofer was interested in the Njord and wanted to try first. Accepting the conditions: just above freezing and force 4 NE, and in a borrowed tuiliq (my old, not quite leakfree anymore) he launched at Lomma beach for a short tryout. I am often more than willing to swop some time at the computer for a little paddling, so away we went for an hour or so at sea.

Chris Russo´s Black Pearl, delivered from Dan Caouette at Clear Stream Fine Woodworking with a light grey waterbased marine finish, had to return to the shop for refinishing, after problems with peeling paint (some of my paddling collegues will remember me contaminating a pool with paint flakes from my prototype BP).

Visit from Tranås

Lomma harbour – Petrus in a Njord

Petrus and Iréne from Petrus Kajak in Tranås visited on a purchasing trip - a couple of news kayak plans, some epoxy, glass and carbon fiber cloth etc for the winter: kayaks for their own use, a couple of ordered kayaks and canoes and for the builders renting place (and help) in the kayakshop. Of course we found time for a short trip in the sound as well.
