At Sea Again...

My daughter gave a a small plastic dinosaur, to keep me safe... I got a rare opportunity to enjoy a sauna for two nights though I slept in my tent (night temps at lowest -3 Celsius, swimming water chilly +5 Celsius). First frost, and full moon! Pure magic!

Preparing a Lecture at Sea

Last weekend I was able finally to have some holidays -at least so I thought! A new lecture about landscape and a crisis at the gallery forced me to shorten my trip. I lost 80% of my cell phone batteries during one day, making phone calls and organizing things.

Well, I got some sunshine and good sleep, though the tent was very humid in the mornings. And the view wasn't so bad either... Sigh... (these are cell phone images)

About sea and the noblest craft...

"However, as ocean paddlers, we journey upon the sea in what is the smallest and noblest of craft. We are all at the mercy of Neptune's whim. The sea is king and the wind rules across it's surface. Listen to it's every breath, sense it's pulse and be cautious." (Jeff Allen: "Expedition Essentials", Ocean Paddler issue 14, 2009)

I'm missing the sea again... desperately... the shitty times are not over [image: 'Auntie' Alli in Hanko during the Easter holidays]

Easter at sea

Five days at sea, camping temps by night 0 Centigrades. Lots of migrating birds, sunshine and mist. All photographs except the lowest one by A. Lind (she is the friendly face in it).
