KajakKanu Magazin 1/2013

Če je tudi vam zatajil videorekorder, si lahko prvo letošnjo oddajo Kajak Kanu (Šport TV) ogledate na spletu. Po 18. minuti lahko občudujete prispevek o Barvnih veslih, ki je bil posnet na Dravici, pardon, Ljubljanici.
Even if your VCR jammed, you can still watch the Kajak Kanu show online. See our paddlers train and compete and learn about Euro Paddle Pass project.

Projekt Iglica - Garfish, work in progress

Na morju se pogosto srečamo z ribami, ki se nam umikajo v plitvino in pri tem skačejo iz vode. Verjetno gre za več vrst, ki se na ta način ščitijo pred roparicami, najbolj markantne pa so seveda največje - Iglice (Belone belone).
We often see fish jumping out of the water while paddling at the sea. I guess they try to protect themselves by jumping into shallow water where they hide among the rocks. The biggest are garfish also called sea needle (Belone belone).

Septembra lani je bilo še posebej živahno, zdelo se je da je več rib v zraku kot v vodi. Zato je bilo tudi lažje predvideti, kje se bodo spet pojavile. Za fotografiranje pa je to šele prvi korak v protokolu 'glej riba - krovnica - kovček - fotoaparat - meri - streljaj'. V večini poskusov zgrešim in še dodatno nasolim fotoaparat :S

Last september was obviously 'the jump out month of the year' so it was easier to predict where they'll show up again. And this prediction is the first step in the 'look! a fish - sprayskirt - pelicase - camera - aim - shoot' procedure. Mostly I miss the fish and just put some more salt on the camera :S

Enodnevni Kornati - Kornati for a day

Pred sezono smo z Rito, Tonijem in Petrom skočili na Kornate. Za en dan, kratko a sladko.

Before the season Rita, Toni, Peter and me paddled to Kornati. It was a one day trip which is kind of a record on its own. Short but sweet.

V petek zvečer smo se z Male Proverse zabili v jugo in bili čez dve uri na sestanku/večerji.

We headed into strong SE on friday evening and in two hours we were dinner (and meeting) ready.

V soboto smo videli Nessy. - We've seen Nessy on saturday.

Ribe so skakale od veselja, ker so videle nas.

Fish were jumping for joy because they've seen us.

Kanja in osla so ščitili Abo. - Buzzard and donkeys were protecting Aba. 

Popoldne pa že na trajekt. Prijazno so nas še opozorili, da bodo avtomobili brez kajakov na strehi porinjeni z otoka. Še sreča ...

And the ferry line on afternoon. We were kindly reminded that the cars without kayaks on roof will be pushed off the island. Lucky us ...

4 slani jezdeci - 4 salty horsemen

Video spomin na jesenski izlet 2012, ko smo kot 4 slani jezdeci apokalipse osvojili Kornate. Lakota, slanost, opečenost in musklfiber. Vreme je pa blo.

Video memory on our fall paddling 2012 when we conquered the Kornati islands as 4 salty horsemen. Hunger, saltiness, sunburn and muscle soreness. But the weather was nice.

Yesh, shalty, this is a keeper! (Goldmember)

OPOZORILO: Video je bil narejen za interno rabo in hvalisanje pred prijatelji kajakaši, zato je dolg osem (8) minut. Če niste kajakaš in/ali ne nastopate v videu, vam ga ni treba gledati do konca.

WARNING: The clip was edited for viewing and bragging in front of the closed audience of fellow paddlers and is therefore eight (8) minutes long. If you are not a paddler and/or starring in the video you don't have to watch it whole.

'Ekspedicija' - 'Expedition'

Objave so zadnje čase bolj redke, saj smo že skoraj štiri mesece na 'ekspediciji' za tri, ki bo trajala še kar nekaj časa. Počasi se prebijamo skozi zimo in pri tem uporabljamo vsa možna prevozna sredstva. Največkrat smo kar peš ali s štirikolesnikom, vreme pa ni ovira. Spimo bolj malo.
Posts weren't so frequent lately because we're on an 'expedition' that lasts almost four months already. And it's going to be a long one. We're fighting through the winter using all means of transport. Mainly our feet and a 4WD. Weather is no issue. We miss sleeping.

Novoletni spust - New year's paddling

Letos smo se na Savinji zbrali šele 5.1. in ne 2.1. kot ponavadi in sicer v okviru  Zbora za diwjo wodo, z naslovom 'Kdo nam je ukradel praznik'. Kljub protikriznim ukrepom smo se imeli še kar fajn, čutiti pa je bilo tudi veter sprememb, sevevzhodni, 15m/s.

This year we gathered on 5th of January for our annual New year's paddling on Savinja. Normally we would be there on 2nd but our government took a holiday from us and now we're much more efficient on the free market. We didn't really enjoy it because the depression is so deep, but we could feel the wind of change - NE, 15m/s.
