On Saturday, October 25, there was a jury meeting for Annika Nilrud at Peter Sjödin's home in Västerås. This time the jury consisted of Thorvald Nielsen, Ben Strengell and chairman Peter.
During the paddling, Annika had a "tracker" on the kayak that logged her position every 10 minutes. Annika had imported the entire route into Google Maps so we could follow her paddling around Sweden in detail via the computer. From time to time during the paddling around Sweden the weather was difficult, but Annika was mentally prepared to do fun things on windy days. Many of us who followed her paddling were delighted with the daily updates filled with interesting and funny comments - probably the best blog so far in HBB's history. Those of you who want to have a fun time in front of the computer can read the blog.
There was no doubt that the jury could approve the paddling.
After the briefing, Annika and her husband Ulf were treated to a sandwich with a drink, followed by coffee and a delicious cake with both a kayak and an inscription.
