Drinking water from unknown well


After 2 nights at Vitbukt (17 km from Svinesund) due to very strong winds, too strong for a Sunday paddler, I have today covered 34 km in partly strong head wind. Tonight I am staying at beautiful island called Havsten

Today my drinking water supply was running critically low. Across the bay from Streamcity there is a small party island - closed today.  I went a shore with my water bottles and found only one tap functioning - at the gentlemen's number one comfort station. I tasted the water and it was not salty, and I checked the colour and it was OK. I have just finnished a bowl of shrimp soup - and it was excellent..

All ships are small at a distance.
