Jury meeting in photos

Jon och Peter — år 2007
Expectant paddlers in front of the bar – not without some fear.
After introductory questions maps or charts are brought forth and the activity around the table increases.
 
Mats, Jim, Thorvald and Erling – year 2008 Jim, Webmaster, Jon and Peter – year 2007 Jim, Thorvald, and Louisa – year 2008
Sven, Erling, Jim och Magnus at the meeting with of Elin Petersson — year 2009
To carry through and account for a tour along the entire coast quite a few maps or charts are needed. The marked route is checked against the logbook.
 
As per the agenda item 3 the candid question is put to the paddlers. At a clear answer and without objections from the jury the paddlings are approved and the jury signs the written record.
 
In tence expectation befor the candid question The record of the meeting is being signed
The tension leave hold of the paddlers. They have become approved conquerors of Havspaddlarnas Blå Band.
 
Reciever: Elin Petersson — år 2009
If earlier booked the miniature kayak is handed over.
 
The table is cleared from maps and logbooks and laid with open sandwiches and beer and during the conversation that follows different things are talked over.
When everyone is satisfied in this way Jim often comes with Gun and a cake.
Gun and Jim – cake bringer
Besides being a master in his kayak his is also a master of finding reasons for a cake together with coffee.
 
The Oscar Celsing family   year 2008 The trio admire the miniatyr kayak ... ... and will now taste the cake – year 2008
In the photos we find Frida with their son Hugo and 'father' Oscar.
The cake that was served was probably the first Hugo has seen. We congratulate to the birth and are looking forward to a coming paddler in Hugo and at the same time greet Oscar to his paddling.
 
Jon Ekelund Nilsson and Peter Sjödin – year 2007
The winner in this "No-competition" is however everyone who manages to paddle the entire coast.
