Red Nose kitchen & power plant

After five hours at sea I arrived at Porsholmen, a small island close to the city of Fjallbacka. After putting up the tent it was dinner time while my blog machine got a power boost

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.

I am here

See me on Google Maps! https://maps.app.goo.gl/UPgL27cHxgLSTlk23

Good luck Ellen and Gerd

The lone paddlers first lonesome camp site.

On my way to Haparanda

 May 20:   After arriving safely at the old Svinesund bridge it was time to head out to sea. Ellen and Gerd started with me but after 4 hours we split up due to differences in paddling speed. First day we had strong head wind from the south.

Red Nose as of today

Today grey nose became Red Nose! The height of my ship is only 30 centimeters and in order to be as visible as possible at sea I have chosen intensive red for my ships long nose.

Going bananas 4 days before start

Making banana chips for my 70+ (or -) day sea voyage. Homemade is always the best.
