Naslovnica Ocean Paddler #33 - Cover photo

Naslovnica OP#33 - Cover

Ta mesec je na naslovnici Ocean Paddler-ja moja fotografija (hvala, Rich), ki je bila posneta 2011 na Kornatih, na zunanji strani Gominjaka. Po uspešni dnevni turi, ko ekipa običajno prebavlja večerjo, sva z Jürgnom od Ravnega Žakna veslala še okrog Gominjaka. Na poti sva imela pred sabo najprej sončni zahod, kasneje pa še vzhod polne lune. Ponoči je bil na sporedu še lunin mrk.

This months Ocean Paddler has my photo on the cover (Thank you, Rich). It was taken last year on Kornati islands, on the western side of Gominjak. After a nice day tour when the team is usually digesting the food in soft evening light, Jürgen (Rosenmüller) and I paddled around Gominjak. We started into descending sun and finished with rise of the full moon. Later on Ravni Žakan we could see the eclipse of the moon.

'Manorama'

Junijska tura lani je bila nasplošno ena bolj uspešnih, saj nas je vreme po dolgem času spet pustilo do Mane.

The tour in June was one of the best in terms of weather and our paddling range because we came all the way to Mana. 

Niste vedeli, da imamo morski kajakaši svojo revijo? No, za vašo ignoranco seveda ni opravičila, lahko pa se delno odkupite s tem, da se izobrazite in naročite na Ocean Paddlerja :)

Oh, you didn't know sea kayakers have their own magazine? Well, there's no excuse for your ignorance but you can partially redeem yourself with education and subscription to Ocean Paddler :)

Razsolitev - Desalination

Med turami z morskim kajakom je potrebno opremo razsoliti. Kje drugje kot na Soči.
Between tours with sea kayak it's always good to desalinate the gear. And the best way to do it is paddling the Soča river.

'A day at the office' zmagal na natečaju - winning video

Kot kaže je video 'A day at the office' zmagal na Peli natečaju. Glede na ničelno konkurenco pa sem pravzaprav zmagal na natečaju funkcionalne pismenosti :S Naj živijo pravila!
Video 'A day at the office' won the Peli contest as the best video. But actually I won the contest in functional reading because of the nonexistent competitors :S Long live the rules!

Delovni dan - A day at the office

Vsak dan isto - vstat, umit, jest, v pisarno, kufer med noge, zapri krovnico in gremo.
Everyday is the same - get up, wash, eat, sit, put a peli case between your legs, close the sprayskirt and go.

Fog Off!

Svetloba ob začetku dneva je nekaj posebnega. Če bi jo moral opisati z eno besedo, bi jo imenoval tema.
Morning light is really something special. If I would have to describe it with one word it would be 'darkness'.

Kornati 2012 Film

Jani in Duka sta me že prehitela z videom, ampak važno je sodelovati. Posneto maja letos, med 'težko veslaško preizkušnjo'.
Filmed in May on our trip to Kornati.

Biograd - Kornati

Po planu bi naj šli veslat v Grčijo, na koncu sva šla z Boštjanom na Kornate. Pri tem sva seveda vso trpljenje, ki bi ga drugače delili med šest ljudi, prevzela sama. Z užitkom.

The plan was to paddle in Greece, but Boštjan and I ended alone on Kornati, CRO. But the suffering that we would split amongst six people was on our shoulders. And we took it with pleasure.
