My second paddle in Norway involved a bit more distance and a lot more sunshine than the first. Espen and I launched from the same spot in Holvika:
We turned right and paddled into the sun towards Lillesand:
Espen was dressed for the conditions:
We went as far as the "Blind channel" of Bufjorden. Apparently, this channel is so easy to navigate that it can be done blind:
We turned into the Reddal canal that leads to the inland lakes of Landvikvannet and Reddalsvannet:
The canal was frozen after only a few hundred metres, so it will have to wait for next time:
Even the melting snow was freezing again into icicles:
The paddle back took us through lots of small channels between the islands:
Many of the islands have small holiday homes on them. Some have lighthouses and the (now disused) dwellings for the lighthouse keepers:
Night was starting to fall as we finished our paddle:
