Calm Sunday morning with low clouds. Kayaking on the “big“ aquarium with sardines wiggling below. Fascinating.

Northeasterly fresh wind made progress a bit slow. North of Klovningen it was almost whitewater paddling.
Sonja and I had a nice trip from Lundsvågen Naturskole, Hundvåg to Kalvøy. My first swim of the season; June 9th!
Another summer morning with little wind. But not early enough because some motorboat-captains couldn’t read the speed limits.

You need to get up early if you want the catch the quietest moments. A cold and fierce NW wind made kayaking hard work during the day. At sunrise one could get the calmest moments. And no other humans interfered, just th...
First tour of the year. It started close to sunset and led against the fresh wind towards E. I stayed behind the island, it was much more fun.
Between strong winds and heavy rain the weather took a break, the sun broke through the clouds - the Sunday kayak tour became a rich experience with snow in the distance, light and shadow giving magnificent contrasts.
A trip over 6 days from Stavanger up Lysefjord. Plan had been to reach lysebotn and take the ferry back out, but strong headwinds meant we had to abort and paddle around some of stavangers islands instead. Fantastic trip...
The wind was still calm on this Easter Sunday. At the beginning of the tour the snow covered mountains in the East were gleaming in the sunshine under a blue sky. From the West, however, thick snow clouds were drifting i...
Morning tour before the big rain. Wind from southerly directions made the choice: Gandsfjorden. I followed the western shore southwards til Vaulen. Had a break on Taraldsholmen before returning. Yes, it started to rain i...
A tour between rain showers. Earlier strong winds had made the sea a bit rough; now the wind had calmed a bit and behind the islands the waters were sheltered. See also on Youtube.
A kayak tour on a hazy, late Saturday afternoon: A light wind from the South made the tour go to Stavanger harbour first. Then I went under the bridge to the islands into Gandsfjorden. In the Lervig area new land is fill...
Around Engøyholmen Kystsenter, then west of Sølyst to Verven. Under the bridge against the light wind towards Dreyersholmen. From there towards Store Marøy, rounding the southern tip. There is also a YouTube video availa...
A kayak tour on a gray Sunday with fresh winds from SW. I went into Åmøyfjorden to test the wave conditions. The link to Youtube gives you an impression of the action: click here to watch.
At sunset I left to avoid the blinding, low winter sun. The air was crisp and clear with all navigation lights blinking. Klovningen Fyr was the turning point of the tour - and the highlight. Not far from the lighthouse I...
A one-way kayak trip from Hundvåg through the chain of islands "Byøyene" into Høgsfjorden. The NW wind helped us to maintain a good speed. We made landfalls at Raudsteinskjeret, Teistholmen, Tingholmen and Bersagel. At I...
A calm summer evening on the Åmøyfjord. After a sunny day it turned cloudy and even a few raindrops fell. The sky became a dramatic composition in different tones of gray.
A Sunday kayak tour starting in thick fog and ending in sunshine. With the sun in the back it felt warm and there was a distinct smell of spring.
A kayak trip on the last April Sunday over Åmøyfjorden round Litle Storholmen, Klovningen and back east of Langøy. Fresh temperatures, light wind — and the best: the showers passed by somewhere else.
A nice summertour in mixed weather, dramatic clouds and occasional rain showers. Usken is very busy in summer. The small islands Riskaholmene are gems in the Riskafjord.
On a cold Sunday with sunshine it was nice to see the spring green taking over.
Spectacular colours during sunset - a winterly kayak tour, later with moonshine as a bonus.
A late tour at low tide. The snow on the mountains in the east was still reflecting the sunlight. Clouds in the West set an earlier end to the special illumination. Later I met a small motorboat, which had run aground. I...
On the day with the shortest period of daylight in the year: a kayak tour around sunset with marvelous turquoise, pink and orange colours. In the east the full moon was rising and spending some additional light. Of cours...
