The weather promises playful paddling, following 15 knots wind on low seas and surf. The visibility could be better, but as we can paddle close to shore, no big deal. The only […]

Pos: 55.4095,-162.672 Loc: Operl Island East Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent no paddling today One day off for recovery and waiting for good weather is fine on the beach, two days are usually rather a pain as it becomes mostly quite boring. As it felt today…we went for a short walk in the stormy wind, […]

Pos: 55.4095,-162.672 Loc: Operl Island East Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent We found over HUNDRED Japanese glass net floats on a STORMY DAY! It was not an inviting forecast, south east strong winds 20-30 knots. South east means it is blowing perpendicular offshore to our traveling direction north east, which keeps the seas low, but […]

Pos: 55.4095,-162.672 Loc: Operl Island East Acc: Hilleberg Keron 4 tent Dist: 59,7 km Start: 07:55 End: 18:50 Ok, yes, the sea calmed down from last night’s scary view and the last three day’s up to 3,5 m seas..but the forecasted 1 m to 0,80 cm were not really visible here yet. The tide was […]

Pos: 54.8651,-163.4104 Loc: False Pass Acc: Trident Seafood bunk no paddling today Feeling like a racehorse today…trapped in the starting box…forecast was 20-30 kn with seas up to 3+ m – outside possibly correct – inside the False Pass it was looking and feeling dead calm…but tomorrow, Tuesday, seas start with 3 m, going down […]

Pos: 54.8651,-163.4104 Loc: False Pass Acc: Trident Seafood bunk no paddling today I missed the official breakfast time between 5-7 am, not the time I like to get up on “dry” days…so two plums and a piece of pastry did the job. But I was diving into the canteen’s lunch buffet, with a huge piece […]

Pos: 54.8651,-163.4104 Loc: False Pass Acc: Trident Seafood bunk no paddling today We could have…but we needed some recovery and logistics day, and I could see the long-term forecast online this night. I don’t know why I was kind of imagining the Bering Sea is a calm millpond…LOL…it shows us already on Sunday to Tuesday […]
