The backyard of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Neptun+Kajakk">Neptun Kajakk</a>. Truly a week to remember, and to repeat.<br />

The week before we went, we followed the met report very carefully. It did not look too good, but of course we had to deal with whatever we got. Three of us arrived already Monday. This gave us a big advantage in being able to get the best from the conditions.<br />
<br />
First day we got a small swell, with a long period. This gave us a proximity of 1,5 meter "elevator", close to the cliffs. Great water to start out with.<br />
<br />
<br />
Next day the conditions would be the same, so we opted for Lysefjorden instead. An absolute great day on the water - too! A stunning place!<br />

Next day the rest of the group had arrived, and luckily we had about the conditions as our first day - great for a starter.<br />
<br />
The following day the conditions was more what we really was looking for. The forecast said close to two metres of swell and a rather short period. Still it way more than doubled the height, close to the cliffs. Spectacular. It is astonishing to watch, and feel, the amount of hydraulic energy that gets released, when the swell hits the cliffs.<br />

The next day the conditions were on the rough side - just too much wind for our likes. Would have been a struggle at Holmane all the time, even in the lee. Instead we found a surf spot close to the <a href="http://www.ognacamping.no/en/">camp</a>. The surf was not the best, but it was there. And hell, "those waves does not surf themselves, someone got to do it." quote <a href="https://www.facebook.com/d.skovgaard82">Daniel Skovgaard</a>.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hence I was sick and tired of water seeping into my supposed-to-be-dry compartments, I have chosen to replace the OEM hatches from Valley, with the ones from Kajaksport - and guess what, they stock some that fits nice and snug. Cheers Kajaksport!</div>

Been there before. A really nice scenic little island - so off course I wanted to go again. On our way we passed - and visited for lunch - <a href="http://www.furbryghus.dk/">Fur Bryghus</a>, an absolutely brilliant restaurant, created around a micro-brewery, of the same name.</div>

The start of the trip was too much into the wind, so the first two kilometres was with no sail - or at least I did not get anything from it. Having paddled a bit off-shore, to reach a better angle for using the sail, I raised the sail, and headed off. <br />

I did a few crossings into the wind. As you can see, here the speed gained a km/h or so. I was paddling very light during these three 'legs'. Finally, when I turned at Assens harbour (going north), the speed picked up. I did not paddle at all since then.</div>

4-7+ km. When in position from where i wanted to return, I turned the boat, an
headed back. For these last three kilometres, I did not paddle at
all..!! In spite of this, the speed was between 7 and almost 9 km/h on
this last leg. Maybe I got better in holding the mast vertical. Maybe I got a better trim. Wind change, change of course - I do not know.</div>

The test went quite well. I was able to cut about 45 degrees into the wind. Most efficient was probably from 90 to 135 degrees.<br />

<br />
This is # 4, as you might know there sits a <a href="http://kajakparadis.blogspot.dk/2011/11/jeff-allen-throwbag-alterations.html" target=""># 1</a>, <a href="http://kajakparadis.blogspot.dk/2013/12/jeff-allen-throwbag-alterations-2.html"># 2</a> and <a href="http://kajakparadis.blogspot.dk/2014/03/jeff-allen-throwbag-alterations-3.html"># 3</a> here as well.<br />
<br />
I have mounted a cam cleat and a fairlead, behind the cockpit. This gives me the option to mount the towing-system there, instead of having it on my waist. The white robe is always attached to the bag, like shown.<br />
This is a big advance, especially while being one of the mid-persons in an rescue through surf. Should I capsize, not being able to roll up, the tow is still intact. The rest of the group can just continue with the rescue.<br />

here we aimed straight towards Lyø, where Irene and Tobias already had
arrived - on bicycles. We arrived around 19 o'clock. Time for a bath and
dinner (Expedition Foods as usual). After the camp were set, it was
time for cake, whisky, sweets - and whatever people could pull off their
kayaks and bicycles.<br />

<a href="http://menzi.dk/album/2014/kajak/2014-05_taasinge/" target="_blank">Once again a fantastic tour in the archipelago south of Funen. Seneca, Katrina and I started Saturday from Lunkebugten, on Tåsinge. Conditions were flat, warm and sunny - easy paddle, long breaks.</a></div>

We chose to circumnavigate the island clock-wise. We did
also round Siø and Strynø. Both with breaks, Strynø also with ice cream,
cake and swimming.<br />

for a walk.<br />

It was almost noon, until we were afloat again. Through the
sound off Svendborg, back to Lunkebugten. The weather had turned nice,
warm and dry again - long breaks, ice cream, snooze and swimming. On one occasion a melted chocolate bar was consumed as well - hardly any chocolate left in the face afterwards....<br />

We
arrived to Lunkebugten after 24 km, but someone had stolen the water,
so we had to haul/carry the boats the last 100 metre or so. This could
off course not spoil the impact from the trip.<br />
<br />
Shallow water is no excuse for not doing a bit of washing. :-) <br />

As it turned out, the split D-ring in the belt, was not quite strong enough. Especially in surf, the bag was always dangling somewhere behind me. Therefore I (reluctantly) installed the quick release buckle instead.<br />

As I do consider my towing-system as being <b>the most</b> important safety equipment, only (hopefully) surpassed by common sense, seamanship and skills, it is very important to me that <b>my system</b> works as efficient as possible - in <b>my hands.</b><br />
<br />
That I have seen, and experienced (in surf, moving water, rock-gardens, gulleys, etc, etc...), the importance of a fast and simple system, I do my best to pinpoint the flaws, and fix them. This is the reason why my system looks like this - other people might have other preferences, and therefore their system will look different from mine.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is how I have had the system for quite a while.<br />

As you can see, I am not too happy about it :-) Besides I feel it hinders me, doing forward rolls. <br />
<br />
The bag and carabina hangs in a split D-ring. This is not too bad, but in surf and big water it ends up like this.<br />
<br />

Which is <b>not</b> the best position to have it, dangling around. It is quite OK for swimming and cowboy-rescue though - that it is out of the way.<br />
<br />
I have tried having the system at my waist - felt quite good, only I needed a quick release option of some kind. I like the simplicity of the split D-ring, only the one that came with the system was too weak for job. Had to find a stronger one.<br />
<br />
Where do I find the D-ring..?? Any drybag has two or four of them. I already knew that the ones from Ortlieb are too soft, for this use.<br />

Having found, and replaced the D-ring on the belt with, one from the Pacific Outdoor drybag, the system now looks like this.<br />

<br />
On the water it sits nicely under my buoyancy. The carabina is ready at hand, and the D-ring on the vest has no problem keeping it in place. Still got to test it, during a swim, and while doing a cowboy-rescue.<br />

Have you any questions, please consult himself: <a href="mailto:kajSPAMak.jepsen@gmail.com" target="_blank">Jørgen Jepsen</a>. (remove SPAM)<br />
<br />
Installation af el-pumpe i en Rockpool Alaw Bach<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pumpen er en Rule 500, 12V (forhandles bl.a. af <a href="http://www.marinelageret.dk/" target="_blank">www.Marinelageret.dk</a>) som er placeret lige bag sædet. Den er holdt fast med elastiksnor.</div>
<div>
For ikke at bore for mange huller i skotvæggen har jeg limet et par
nylon/plastik kroge på væggen. Jeg har brugt ophængningskroge til
betonvægge (stålstifterne er fjernet :-). På modsatte side (inde i
daglugen) har jeg limet et par nylonøjer (dem der sidder på siden af
campingvognen til at holde stængerne til forteltet). Det var hvad jeg
lige havde ved hånden, andet kan sikkert bruges.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
På siden af pumpen er monteret en Automatic Bilge Pump Switch (model 101) <a href="http://www.waterwitchinc.com/" target="_blank">http://www.WaterWitchinc.com</a>.</div>
<div>
Holdt fast med kabelstrips. Hvordan el-ledningerne skal forbindes, fremgår af bagsiden af indpakningen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jeg har ført vandslangen (19 mm) gennem skotvæggen
via en Skroggennemføring med et hul der lige passer (når studsen er
savet af) til den udvendige diameter på slangen. Dette gør at, selvom
der bliver revet i slangen, så opstår der ikke utætheder som der ville
gøre hvis slangen blot var ført direkte gennem skotvæggen. </div>
<div>
I stedet for en Skroggennemføring kunne man bruge en "Forskruning"
med den rette diameter (kan sikkert købes ved den lokale elinstallatør).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Til
afgangshullet er igen brugt en Skroggennemføring i plastik. Jeg har
brugt en 16 mm hvor studsen er savet af og noget af gevin-stykket er
slebet så slangen kan sættes på. Yderligere har jeg slebet den udvendige
krans så den udvendige diameter er ca. halveret. Der er stadig nok gods
at skrue den fast med og den ser lige knap så voldsom ud. Endelig har
jeg givet kransen lidt sort spraymaling. (Skroggennemføringerne der kun
fås i hvid, er købt i Biltema).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Til batterikasse har jeg (foreløbig) brugt en
plastbeholder med "vinger" og pakning (købt i Bilka). Den er vandtæt med
nok ikke så god som Pelicase. Jeg har foret kassen så batteriet ligger
fast og boret et hul til ledningerne. </div>
<div>
Da jeg vil fjerne batteriet efter hver tur, har jeg monteret det
via et 12 voltstik (cigartænder). Tæt på +polen er monteret en 2,5A
sikring.</div>
<div>
Batterikassen er også holdt fast med elastiksnor og de før omtalte øjer.</div>

På Dansk nedenfor.</div>
<br />
Three knights rode due west, for a bit of <b>sea kayak</b> surfing. The weather was amazing for the season: sunny, hardly any wind and 14℃ = lovely.<br />
<br />
We <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">opted-out the area with breakwaters, south of <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=bl%C3%A5vand&hl=da&ie=UTF8&ll=55.53854,8.149967&spn=0.033026,0.089951&sll=55.29696,9.870499&sspn=0.265827,0.719604&t=h&hnear=Bl%C3%A5vand,+Danmark&z=14" target="_blank">Blåvand</a> - it was too dull. Instead we drove to <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Vejers+Strand,+Danmark&hl=da&ll=55.628093,8.11203&spn=0.065901,0.179901&sll=55.53854,8.149967&sspn=0.033026,0.089951&oq=vejers+strand&t=k&hnear=Vejers+Strand,+Danmark&z=13" target="_blank">Vejers Strand</a>. Now, that was a completely different ball-game.! Loads of the white stuff, one had to punch through, to get to the green area between the sandbanks. The forecast said </span></span><b>3-4,5 feet swell</b>, with <b>7 sec period.</b> This combination does give loads of water, that has to pass over the sandbanks, resulting in very <b>few</b> waves under 1,5m, many 2m - and a few at 3m, when a couple of waves joined their forces. Quite a lot more than I anticipated for the day... Anyone can handle 3m waves/swell, as long as they do not break, which they did - otherwise it is just up-hill and down-hill.<br />
At one point I glanced backwards, seeing a kayak wobbling on the top of one of these breaking monsters. Just a glance, that I had my own business to attend to...<br />
<br />
I think all reached their limits, <b>and</b> had a few fabulous surfs. Outside the sandbanks there were some 30m peak-peak. Quite different from the 5-8m we are used to.<br />
<br />
<br />
We ended the event with a very educational <b>Real Case Scenario</b>:<br />
We needed to get a cold (from swimming), tired and insecure (from cold) paddler back into his boat, and on-shore. The first part was done by towing him into the green area, between the sandbanks. An assistant gave him support - ups-a-daisy ;) So far so good.<br />
Problem was we had to get him safe to shore, through the surf-zone. We were only three people and one tow-line. (luckily a <a href="http://shop.seakayakingcornwall.com/hf-jeff-allen-throw-tow-rescue-system-2533-p.asp" target="_blank">Jeff Allen tow</a>, more later).<br />
We decided to place an anchor-man in the rear - and support on the casualty. This pair would take turns in pulling us through, while the anchor-man was supposed to maintain direction and low speed. It did not take long before the anchor-man came rushing <b>past</b> the float, breaking hard. Second time this happened he un-clipped the belt, to let the drogue do a better and safer job, while he rushed to shore, to help with the landing. This last part went real nice and smooth, thanks to the drogue.<br />
<br />
<b>Lesson Learned:</b><br />
<b>1)</b> We were in <b>deficit of towing systems</b>. <i>The ones below deck does not count.</i> Had we had one more towing system, <a href="http://shop.seakayakingcornwall.com/hf-jeff-allen-throw-tow-rescue-system-2533-p.asp" target="_blank">Jeff's throwbag</a> could have been used solely as a drogue, while the 'free' paddler could have pulled the raft through the surf.<br />
<b>2)</b> That the anchor-man <b>overtook</b> the raft twice, shows very clearly that <b>15m of line is not one bit too much, west of Skagen.!</b><br />
<b>3) </b>Jeff Allen is absolutely right: A <b>paddling</b> anchor-man makes no sense above 4feet of surf. Better to drop the drogue, or use a swimmer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Today I am very pleased that I have modified Jeff's system, so that it immediately could be used as a drogue. The early design I got, does normally need to fixed with a knot. With my <a href="http://kajakparadis.blogspot.dk/2011/11/jeff-allen-throwbag-alterations.html" target="_blank">modification</a> it can just be dropped - and it worked. Jeff's design has changed later.<br />
One thing I would have preferred was that the line had sunk - it came in the way all the time, paddles, around boats, catching skegs (not today though). I only need the bag/belt to float. <br />
<br />
<br />
Looking forward to next time - much wiser. ;) <br />

<div style="color: yellow;">
Tre gæve gutter drog mod vest, for lidt <b>havkajak</b>surf. Vejret var fantastisk: sol, ingen vind og 14℃ = dejligt.</div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
Vi
fravalgte høfderne syd for Blåvand - det så sgu for tamt ud. Istedet
kørte vi om til Vejers Strand. Se det var en helt anden ball-game.! En
masse hvidt (skumfiduser) der skulle tonses igennem for at komme ud.
Derefter et grønt område mellem to revler. Udsigten <b>3-4,5fod swell</b>, med <b>7sec frekvens</b>.
Denne kombination giver meget store mængder vand i hver bølger, som
rejser sig over revlerne. Langt højere end jeg havde forventet.! Der var
<b>ikke</b> mange under 1,5m, mange på 2m - samt nogle enkelte, når de
slog sig sammen, på 3m - alt sammen brækkende bølger.! Enhver kan magte
3m bølger der ikke brækker - det er bare opad bakke og nedad bakke.
Bliver de til <b>skumfiduser</b>, er det noget helt andet.!</div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
På et tidspunkt ser jeg mig tilbage, og ser en kajak sidde og vippe på
toppen af sådant et monster - "hold da op" tænkte jeg, men jeg havde jo
også mit at se til, horfor jeg vender fokus framad/indad/nedad igen.....</div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
Alle fik "set løverne", men fik vist også et par fantastiske surf.!.
Bølger i indre Danske Farvande får en helt anden dimension. Udenfor
revlerne hvor de 'sande' bølger løb, var der vel 30m fra top til top.
Noget ganske andet end hvor vi her har 5-8meter.</div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<br clear="all" /></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
Vi sluttede af med et yderst lærerigt <b>Real case scenario:</b></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
Vi
skal have en kold/træt (af at svømme) roer op i hans båd og på land.
Det første blev klaret ved at trække ham ud i det grønne område mellem
revlerne, en støtte på - op med ham. Så langt så godt. Problemet var han
også skulle på land. Vi var kun tre mand og ét tov! (heldigvis et <a href="http://shop.seakayakingcornwall.com/hf-jeff-allen-throw-tow-rescue-system-2533-p.asp" target="_blank">Jeff Allen tov</a>, mere senere).</div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
Vi beslutter at sætte en ankermand på bagud, med tovet - samt en støtte
på den kolde. Dette makkerpar skiftes til at trække flåden indad, med
ankermanden til at holde retning og til at holde farten nede. Ret
hurtigt kommer ankermanden surfende ukontrolleret <b>forbi</b> flåden,
trods 15m line.!! Da det sker anden gang kobler ankermanden sig af, og
lader tovet virke som drivanker - det går mere gavn end en ankermande
der ikke magter at være anker. Ankermanden spurter frem og på land, for
at tage imod flåden, der dog nu kommer ganske roligt og kontrolleret
fremad, hjulpet af drivankret.</div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<b>Lesson learned:</b></div>

<b>1)</b> Vi var i <b>underskud af træktove</b>. <i>Bugserudstyr under dæk tæller ikke.</i> Med at tov mere kunne <a href="http://shop.seakayakingcornwall.com/hf-jeff-allen-throw-tow-rescue-system-2533-p.asp" target="_blank">Jeff's throwbag</a> være lagt bagud som drivanker. Ankermand kunne så istedet have trukket flåden ind gennem surf-zone.</div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<b>2)</b> At ankermanden <b>overhalede</b> flåden to gange, viser med al tydelighed, at <b>15m line ikke er en skid for meget vest for skagen</b>.</div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<b>3)</b> Jeff Allen har fuldstænig ret: En <b>sejlende</b> ankermand giver kun mening op til <b>4fod</b> surf - en god meter. Derover er det bedre at droppe posen, eller hænge en god svømmer ud.</div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
Jeg er idag glad for at jeg har modificeret Jeff's tov, således
at det umiddelbart kunne fungere som drivanker. Den tidlige model jeg
har, skal originalt bindes anderledes, for at fungere som drivanker. Med <a href="http://kajakparadis.blogspot.dk/2011/11/jeff-allen-throwbag-alterations.html" target="_blank">min modifikation</a>, skal det bare droppes - og det virkede perfekt.!<br />
<span style="color: yellow;">Noget jeg havde foretrukket, var at linen ikke havde været en flydeline. Den kom kun i vejen for pagajer, rundt om både, ind i skeg (ikke idag dog). Jeg har det fint med at det kun er tasken/bæltet der flyder. </span></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: yellow;">
Glæder mig til næste gang..!! :-)</div>

He certainly meant a lot to me and my progress in, and understanding of, sea kayaking. If only he had been more known in Denmark. He's books are amongst the best written and illustrated, till this day, to be seen on the market. They still stands tall.</div>
<br />
He's honoured in <a href="http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=95827&sid=9180b417f5a85469d180b1f39f9b7704" target="_blank">UK Rivers Guide forum.</a><br />
<br />
A word from another one in Dereks league, and generation:<br />
<i><span class="abbc">"One of the most experienced sea paddlers ever.<br />
His writings about his sport were such that one had to put the book down
and rush to get onto the water to try out his instructions from the
books."</span></i><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><u><b>Android </b></u></div><div style="text-align: left;">Hence I do not want to use power consuming software, on my mobile.

They have various ways to either share or send data, but My Tracks feature to make an export to <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjCnsDRyE0aedEM3M0NpT1NNUU9xb3hveGdsSUtqQVE" target="_blank">Google Docs</a>, does kind of appeal to me.

<a href="http://www.kayakways.net/" target="_blank">Cheri Perry & Turner Wilson</a> has made this DVD, with an approach to:<br />
<b>"...focus on the most useful rolls to you in real water conditions."</b><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All too often I see people performing maybe 10-15 different rolls in poolconditions, whereas they are unable to roll in real conditions - this leaves me absolutely indifferent. Happy to see a DVD that shows you stuff that works, and the importance of it.<br />
There is also a lot of focus on forward finishing rolls, rolls where you recover tucked forward - very good !<br />
"Boat first, head last" - haven't we all seen the opposite a thousand times or more. Getting it right from the start, makes everything else so much easier.<br />
Loads of brilliant keypoints. The shoots are taken from different directions, helping you to mirror, or see, just the detail you are missing.<br />
<br />
This video actually made me <b>want </b>to play with this stuff. Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks.? Certainly hope <b>I </b>can.!!</div>

<br />
I have had <b>balls on the bungees</b>, to allow the paddle to slip under. These balls had to be redicoulus in size to let me push the shafts underneath - the blade was not a problem.<br />
<br />
I have had <a href="http://kajakparadis.blogspot.com/2011/12/like-virgin.html" target="_blank"><b>plumbing-pipes</b> attached to the bungees</a>. Even the smallest (>2feet) surf forced the paddle AWOL.<br />
<br />
I have had hose on the bungees, to make an open loop. This did not let me slide the shafts (easy enough) under the hose.<br />
<br />
Went by one of <a href="http://gnarlydognews.blogspot.com/2009/03/shop-sea-kayak-paddle-park.html" target="_blank">GnarlyDog posts</a>, to get some inspiration - and to exclude some solutions. The result was that I stuck to my plumbing, but fixed them much more sturdy. The reason I have them so long, is that I do not want to scratch the deck more than needed, sliding the shaft through the pipe, before I can get the blade under the bungees, and be course my splits aren't the same length...<br />

My 'active' paddle slides nice and easy under the over-all bungee. The ball makes it even easier.<br />

<u><b>From left:</b></u> I have changed the fix-point of the rope, from the bottom of the bag, to the D-ring in the opening. This way I do not have to rely on my <u>flacky brain</u>, to remember what to do, if I want to use the bag as a <b>drogue</b>.</div>

Other than the changes shown above, I have also shortened the belt, to be only 5'ish cm 'too long'. My changes are, for me, improvements. Other people may have other preferences. The important thing is that we all look at our gear, with a skeptical mind, and go out and use the shit - the only way to find out what works for you, and what does not.! This also gives, that I might change back, or change something else, later on - after more trial and use.</div>
