Göta Kanal sommaren 2014

Under somrarna i 20 års tid har s/y Henrietta seglat längsmed Höga kusten på svenska sidan. Inspirerad av filmen Göta Kanal eller Vem drog ut proppen? företog vi denna sommar en kanaltur, vilket betyder i praktiken mycket motorköras. Resan gick från Vasa, genom både Göta- och Trollhättekanal ner till Göteborg och tillbaka. Under den cirka månadslånga färden byttes besättning fyra gånger. Här följer ett bildspel från den resan.

Kayak trip Äänekoski - Jämsä, June 2014

Our annual kayak trip started were we stopped last year; Äänekoski. After 4 days, 4 locks and descending 13,5 metres we arrived in Jämsä where we packed our kayaks in the car and headed home, hopefully to return next year when we'll continue our journey along the finnish inland lakes.

This year we experienced all kinds of weather, even snow during the midsummer week. Here are some of the photos we took on our trip.

La Via Del Francigena Sud, October 2013

Already in the Middle Ages Finns made pilgrimages to Rome. Some of them continued their pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Some years ago the route in Italy was reconstructed and named La Via Francigena del Sud. My route ended in Brindisi and took three weeks to complete. One morning it rained for a couple of hours, otherwise the sun was shining all the time. Met many interesting italians but only one other pilgrim. Nevertheless, I can warmly recommed the Via.
