Day 55, July 13. Getting up to speed

From: Hökaren
To: Långvikudden
Distance: 69,5 km
Total distance: 2102,5 km
Wind: S-SE 3-9 m/s
Weather: Sunny, 21 C
Started this day with making pancakes to bring with me for dinner tonight. Got sorted and said good bye to Agneta. Thanks for everything, I had a great stay!
Conditions today were optimal so after rounding the head, leaving Täfteåfjärden, I had tailwind the entire day, high life! That and a long day (9 and a half hours) in the kayak made today's new distance record for this trip possible.
Spent pretty much all day paddling but took a break when reaching Ratan and realizing there was a restaurant there 😀, pancakes saved for tomorrow's breakfast instead, yum!


Passed some great spots during the afternoon but when trying to find a decent place to stay the night there was nothing and I ended up on one of the thousands and thousands of stone beaches there are up here along the coast, just next to a house... It's ok to pitch a tent on these beaches but not more, with today's amazing bed rolls you get away with pretty much any surface and still get a decent sleep. Worst bit was the there was no internet coverage at this spot 😫, just went to sleep after doing the necessary chores and getting photos of a nice sunset...

  1. Efter Byske blir det bättre med tältplatser. Lycka till.

    1. Lyckades få tips om riktigt fina klipphällar utanför Bureå till gårdagsnatten! Idag hoppas jag vara förbi Byske så det låter ju betryggande.
