Not canoeing.

It is much to Daniels excitement that we have gotten a canoe for our wedding. He wants to go out with the thing all the time, even though the weather does not seem optimal. Today, Maren thought it might be too windy. Daniel insisted it was not that bad. Therefore, we went for it. With the canoe on the trolley we walked down to the water, where the wind was blowing convincingly. "If we just paddle against the wind first, we`ll always come back. This`ll be fine", Daniel said. So we put the boat into the water, climbed in, and managed to paddle for about 50 meters out onto the fjord before the wind got a hold on the bow, turned us around, and began to blow us back. Still, Daniel figured if we managed to get the bow in the wind again, and stayed closer to land, we might manage. We did not manage. The only thing we managed was to get back to our entrypoint. This ended our 15-minute canoe-trip. We paddled hard and we paddled short, and it may have not been worth it. The thing Daniel liked best about the trip is that Maren did not once say: "I told you so.". 

Our only picture of this trip. Here in the shelter of the hill the sea looks innocent enough, but around the corner the wind was strong and the waves quite high.
