We were sitting in our kayaks around 8.15 and started heading more south towards the archipelago. Hard paddling untill lunch and both me and Sigurd felt the yesterday in our shoulders and back. We stayed a few minutes extra on our lunchbreak to gather powers to paddle the last 8 kilometers to Merikarvia harbour. After lunch the paddling went easier and Oskar almost lost a paddle in a small tunnel 500 meters from the harbour. Thanks to Sigurds drysuit and diving skills we got it back and we could continue our journey. The harbour offered excellent icecream and we met our newfound friend Pentti again, the man we met yesterday and Vasa. This time he wasnt sitting in his kayak and we talked for about an hour. He turned out to be a real nice man, and shared his knowledge with us, and we to him. After splitting up with him we bougth icecream and coffee and went to the store, we had forgot to buy coffee 2 days ago. At last we decided to continue 1 more kilometer to the camping on the other side of the bay, first time we washed our clothes indoor and had our first freshwater shower. Strange feeling to be clean!
