Åååh – inte nu igen!

Svankolonin i lä

Kort paddeltur i Salviken idag. Ganska soligt, 8-10 m/s västnordväst och knappt meterhöga vågor ute på fritt vatten. Hela svankolonin höll till i lä innanför Vikhögs hamn.

I samband med en roll bröts min bästa paddel på samma ställe som den är lagad två gånger tidigare. Det är första gången jag själv är ansvarig. De båda andra gångerna hände det i samband med oerfarna rollare som använde paddeln som hävstång.

Bruten...

Ritningars andrahandsvärde?

annons på Utsidan

Den här annonsen ligger sedan ett tag ute på Utsidan, och jag är lite förvånad. Inte så mycket över att ritningar kommer på avvägar – jag tror såklart inte att varenda byggare respekterar de förbindelser ett ritningsköp innebär, nämligen att "Ritningarna får inte säljas, reproduceras eller lånas ut utan upphovsmannens medgivande".

Late summer or early fall

A curious mink

This little fellow sat on a stone some hundred meters out in the water off Vikhög - more curious than scared, but when he had studied me for a while he swan to a safer stone. A couple of decades back there were a lot of minks (american minks) along the coast but it is now a number of years since I last saw one.

Kavat - Rikard Fåhraeus

Rikards nya Kavat

Hej Björn

I juni blev min Nadja (en Kavat) sjösatt. Det tog alldeles för lång tid att få henne färdig... främst för att jag inte haft någon riktigt bra lokal att jobba i. Hur lång tid det tagit från byggstart till slut vågar jag helt enkelt inte tala om. Det blir ju lite besvärligt att flytta runt ett ofärdigt bygge. Dessutom borgar det för byggproblem.

Shoemakers kids...

Finally - a new business card

A large part of my daily work is on corporate identity: logos, presentation material, business cards, stationary etc - when I am not occupied updating this site, packing kayak plans or answering builders questions. But the other day I suddenly realised that my own business card was some five or six years old. Shoemakers kids you know...

So it was quite fun to be my own customer for a change - and a demanding one...

Qajaqträffen på Fyn

Løgismosestrand

Förra helgen var jag i Danmark på qajaqtræf. Stavningen qajaq antyder som vanligt att det liksom förra gången handlade om om grönlandskajaker och smala paddlare paddlar för hela slanten. Den här gången hölls träffen på Løgismosestrand på västra Fyn – en gräsplan i anslutning till stranden i ett avsides hörn av campingplatsen.

Henrik in the new Black Pearl

Hi Björn

Finally my Black Pearl is finished. It has been an exciting process, but also one that took some time. I started on January 8, and was done August 23.

Hunter - Aron Johansson

Aron with a new Hunter

"Hi Björn

Here is, a bit late, a photo of the Hunter, I built together with Jon this winter.

It turned out quite nice, thanks to a nice set of plans and a good design.

It tracks quite well but is easy to turn, and rolling has never been this easy before, and in spite of that it is quite stable. My only concern is comfort during long tours. I could be a little more limber...

Thanks a lot for all help
Aron Johansson"

Stockenträffen 2008

Kajakparkering…
Kajakparkering

Så var ännu en Stockenträff lagt till handlingarna – den tionde om jag räknat rätt. Jubileet inbjuder till en historisk återblick (som jag som deltagare upplevt det): under många år alternerade Kanotförbundet och Friluftsfrämjandet med årliga symposier – de två sista i Tanumshede i norra Bohuslän och på Lurö i Vänern. Därefter tröt orken, engagemanget sinade och allt rann ut i sanden.
