Jamie was lucky from the very beginning. He caught no less than eight garfish on the first day of kayaking. But we were in general unlucky with the weather on this trip. I had been optimistic when leaving the campsite at Rantzausminde Saturday morning and was not wearing my jacket. I was soaked by the time we had lunch.

By the time we arrived at the campsite on Avernakø, everyone was soaked. Pia, Kira and I went to the store to get coins for the showers. We borrowed Freek’s towing rope and made a primitive line for our wet stuff. Next day we all got a scolding from the harbourmaster because of the mess we had made.

We continued Sunday morning with wind and waves in our backs. At the southern point of Avernakø the clouds caught up with us and we had to seek shelter at a small, wooden barn. It was not a great shelter. The roof was half collapsed and the “floor” was washed away by the ocean. But we managed to get in right before we got hit by hail.

The rest of the day was fine. Only a few clouds and some strong headwind in the end. We reached Gammel Havn, the old harbour at Drejø and made camp. We walked to the local store, bought ice cream and enjoyed the beautiful sunset before going to bed. At night it began storming.
