We woke up early this morning to find out that the wind that had started to blow the day before, had not settled down. It had been 14 m/s during the night and was still blowing 12 m/s. So we crawled back to the tents to sleep some more. An hour later the friendly man from the cottage near by came to check on us and kindly told us that the canots are not doing so well on the beach. The small harbour was well sheltered from the sea, but the wind had blown so hard that the water had come up and taken Oskar's kayak with it. All was well though, for it hadn't gone far. It was just making friends with other boats in the bay.
The wind was too strong to paddle out so we stayed in and started to figure out our strategies about buying food and getting water. Now with a day off we would have time to take care of those businesses but the question was how to get to Kalajoki. Eeva went in to the friendly cottage to ask about possibilities to ride a bus or hitch hike and came back with a free ride to the centrum. These people really amazed us with their friendliness! Besides a ride to the stores, we got water from their home in Kalajoki. We are saying a big thank you to Eeva and Martti Männistö for all the kindness we got!
With the extra time we got, we decided also to do the laundry. Sigurd offered his day hatch and we got some clean clothes. It was about time!
