Jörg Knorr, an experienced expedition paddler himself, was so nice to introduce my talk to the audience.

Thanks very much, Jörg!

The venue for the first German talk in Husum in the Hotel “Altes Gymnasium” was very stylish, almost like an ancient church 🙂 – good Jörg was walking behind and not besides me through the narrow gap in the middle of the audience chairs, from the back to the front to start the talk, and no wedding choral was being played… 🙂

It was packed with 200 people! Thanks to all of you for coming, and for your endless applause after my show! I was curious and asked – half were kayakers, half were locals, friends, neigbours, business partners, some of them travelling as far as from the island “Sylt”! 

I was a bit hecticly running around before the start… 🙂

Glad to be able to greet my son Helge, my mom Annemarie, my two shop managers Ilona and Andrea and and some of my best employees in the first row. Without their valuable support my trip wouldn’t have been possible!

Thanks to all of them!

Jörg Knorr will be writing a nice article for the German Kajak Magazin, availabe at newsstands. He is an experienced author and has done several publications about his own journeys in international magazines already.

Thanks again, Jörg!
