Kayaking on Lake Vuoksi, June 2019.
This year our inland tour started and ended in Savonlinna. We paddled on Lake Pihlajavesi.
I paddled alone for the first three days after which a couple of friends also joined in. Paddled a total distance of 215 kilometers in 6 days.

I love this product, they are way better than my kunai I bought a couple weeks ago. I would recommend these for beginners and they have held up pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThese were highly recommended, so we got them for our son's 18th birthday. We had already built a target in our yard for throwing axes like this. Since I had eye surgery (unrelated, thank you), I haven't been able to use them yet, but my son loves them and the quality is excellent!
