Jesenska - Fall Tour

Pred poslabšanjem vremena smo z Boštjanom, Gregom in Sašom še ujeli štiri lepe dni. Veslali smo od Sukošana do Lavse in nazaj. Indijansko poletje (minus kanuji).

Right before the weather got bad we managed to make a very nice four day trip from Sukošan to Lavsa and back. Indian summer (minus canoes).

Ob vremenu se je smejalo celo kajaku - Even kayak laughed because of good weather

Hydrospeed - Episode 1

Hydrospeed (ali rečni bob) je običajno rezerviran za kratke spuste nič hudega slutečih turistov, ki poleti begajo po Bovcu. Gotovo pa niste mislili, da bi si nekdo želel tako preplavutkati Sočo od izvira do izliva v morje. Več o tem si preberite na Marinovem blogu.
Veliko smo se naučili in dobili ideje, kako izboljšati rutino do pomladi, ko bo Marin rekel (rečnemu) bobu (rečni) bob.

Hydrospeed is usually reserved for short trips that tourists in Bovec take , if they don't feel like paddling, rafting or canyoning. But you could 'paddle' the entire river until it flows into the sea - read more about it on Marin's blog.
We learned a lot from the attempt and know what can be improved the next time Marin feels 'the need for (hydro)speed.

Vsa vesla - 2012 - All paddles

Že ko sem zjutraj pogledal skozi okno in mislil, da se mi je naredila siva mrena, sem vedel da bo dober dan. Kot za nalašč za Vsa vesla, tradicionalni jesenski krog okoli Velenjskega jezera.
When I looked through the window in the morning and saw foggy nothing, I knew that it's going to be a good day. Good enough for All paddles - annual paddling around Velenje lake.

 Deževno izboljšanje - Rainy improvement

 3 Sneguljčice in 6 palčkov, druga najboljša udeležba v zgodovini

3 Snowhites and 6 dwarfs - second best participation in history

 Vodno mesto - Aquatic city

Bolje drži ga, nego lovi ga - Catch and release

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 :)
