Jury meeting in photos

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.


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.

The tension leave hold of the paddlers. They have become approved conquerors of Havspaddlarnas Blå Band.

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.

Besides being a master in his kayak his is also a master of finding reasons for a cake together with coffee.

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.

The winner in this "No-competition" is however everyone who manages to paddle the entire coast.
