Hi! This is Freya again…
Sure, we are not looking for internet every night, as usually lighthouses on headlands don*t provide much of that luxury, but on Monday night we needed to turn into the small village of Bakkagerdi to spend obviously two or three days weather bound.
It is really stormy here! Force 7 or so blowing heavy rain allover, although from a tempting following North-Easterly direction, but what is too much is too much. We even had to take out tent down after the first night on a "civilized" campsite in town…

Hi, this is Freya writing…
Eventually after 9 paddling days we headed into Siglufjordur at the North coast to resupply with groceries, charging batteries and typing our first update…we were just PADDLING and out in the bushes so far!
Sorry for the communication trouble at the beginning of the trip, but OUR e-mails from the Sat-phone to our e-mail adresses were working! That the messages to Steini and others went into their spam-folder, was not expected. And not all of the text messages to the Sat-phone were arriving in time or at all.
This is a preview of
We have got our first internet acces in Iceland!!!

It’s finished!!!
One of the most beautiful Greenland paddles on earth (or water…?)
Thanks to Ron Steinwall from Novorca paddles, who created a really unique paddle for me.
It has a hand-carved-to measurements wooden core, a layer of carbon, then is painted with all colors of the rainbow, sprinkled with lots of glitter and covered with a thick layer of clear varnish.
If you look at it in the bright sunshine, you need sunglasses

It’s almost too beautiful too use…and it’s very outstanding against all my black stuff…

Well, people might say I’m a spontanious woman…but it is actually a bit less dramatic as Derrick wrote about it on his blog

My decision to go around Iceland was born at the inspirational place of the Anglesey Sea Kayak Symposium 2007.
I was twice at that symposium, 2004 as a bloody firtst-time-novice to the international sea kayaking family, back 2007 teaching there as a rolling instructor.
