November Padling

This one amazing day in November.. like maybe no 36 of rainy days in Bergen.. I woke up to see the sun shine on a coolcoolcool day! Unbelievable! So together with Julie, I went out to Sotra, an archipelago outside of Bergen. I even brought my sunnies today! We decided to paddle around the island of Løno, the westernmost island of Sotra. None of us had ever paddled there before..but this was the day! The water was a bit rough on the outside, but it all went really well (except for a few navigational mistakes..kremt..Julie!;)! We were well proud of ourselves afterwards! Made it back just in time for some(!!) red wine, but discovered the hard way that this wasn´t the wisest thing to do the day before a big meal of "Sauehaue"(smoked sheeps head, with everything intact..including eyes, ears, jaw with teeth..a norwegian traditional dish which tastes delicious!)!
