Moi Kaisa and Christoffer,
Your message in a bottle made our day! We found it in the Hague (in front of our favorite beach club) on a windy day where buddy Bram (left) and I (right) were attempting to toss a frisbee in very windy conditions.
Bram hasn’t read it but he got to the second picture. I read the full thing and thoroughly enjoyed it! What an adventure you went on. Have you ever considered making the crossing to Sweden? One thing kept me thinking however. You mentioned you had a head wind for a few days. I did some googling and found out that the prevailing wind direction in the Gulf is from the west. Wouldn’t it have been easier to start at the island and make your way back? Either way, kudos for your perseverance!
In addition, your story appealed to me as I was an avid peddler myself (ps, eager to pick it up again). Before moving the Hague I lived on a houseboat in Amsterdam. I had a kayak attached to my boat, which meant I only had to open my window and I could peddle away. See my Strave screenshot for my last (and final) trip.
Your story also reminded me of a crossing in Australia by Beau Miles [Link]. I think you’d like the adventure and the philosophical spin he gives to his trip.
Out of curiosity, where do you live in Finland? I visited last year and keen to visit with Bram at some point as we are both nature and outdoor fanatics. Also, we are very curious to hear more about this little project you started with 10 days 1 night 🙂
Moi moi and keep exploring!
