Shitmydadsays blir tv-serie
Nå ser det ut til at det blir TV-serie av ShitMyDadSays.
Han faren er et geni. Her kan man le til man gråter. Les forøvrig et intervju med sønnen. Ustyrtelig morsomt.

Kvitteringen for handling før turen
Evy og Elisabeth handlet for kr 7700 før turen. Vi klarte nesten å spise opp alt, men vi var for dårlige til å drikke opp ølen. Kaffe ble det også igjen en del av...
Bye bye Træna, bye bye
Det er dags å sette kursen mot Dønna for å levere tilbake båten. Vi kommer tilbake neste år:)

Siste kveld med festival
Vi sitter på båten og gjør oss klar for siste kveld på Trænafestivalen. Vi kommer nok tilbake neste år
Ankommet Sanna
Vi har tatt båten over til Sanna for Sivert Høyem konsert. Båtturen tok 5 min med en streng men rettferdig skipper som over høytaleranlegget ga beskjeder til enkeltpersoner om å sitte på rett plass og i allefall ikke nyte medbrakt ombord.

I land på Træna
Vi kom i mål som båt nummer 3. Godt å få igjen varmen etter litt sur overfart. Vinden var veldig kraftig rundt Lovund, så vi måtte ta rev i seilet. Vi er spent på plassering i turistklassen vi seiler i. Nå er det gt og festival
En taktisk manøver
Vi ligger nå på en foreløpig 3 plass etter en taktisk manøver. Vi har satt kursen sør for Lovund, og det åpne hav. Stemningen er på topp!
Træna ocean race igang
Starten gikk kl 9 fra Sandnessjøen. Desverre litt overskyet og litt sur vind. Ullundertøy er på. Eta Træna er om ca 6 timer.

Update from Maui
It's time for a little update. Since last blog, Dagfinn, Ida and Johanne has arrived here on Maui. Dagfinn came Wed 8. Apr, while Ida and Johanne came Tue 14. Apr. Me and Dagfinn have had 4 days windsurfing and enjoyed it alot. The wind has been a bit too strong for me the latest days. I ended up on a 3.7 sail, and still felt it was too big. I have bruises all over my body after trying to learn surfing with a harness.
Today we went to Hana and back and had a good time jumping cliffs and watching the tropcial Hawaii.
Jumping Venus Pool
Many thanks to Johanne for shooting all the pictures!
We're leaving Maui tomorrow and going to Ohahu and Honolulu. I'm going back to Maui on Sunday, because my flight back to Calgary leaves from here.
Only 6 days until I'm back in Norway now! I'm looking forward to meeting friends, family and my colleagues :) See ya all soon!

Whalewatching
Today was my first close encounter with the big Humpback whales
I was on a 2 hour trip with Pacific Whale Foundation where we experienced 2 major whale breaches where the whales jump out of the water. I got a photo of the nearest one:
The guide and the captain said that breaches this close to the boat only happened 4-5 times per year, so we were quite lucky.
The whales go to Hawaii in the winter for mating and calving, while they travel to Alaska and Bering Sea in the summer to feed.
Onboard the boat there was paper where you could sign up for protesting against Japan, Iceland and Norway's whaling-activities. I didn't sign up...

Haleakala Crater
Today I went up the highest point here on Maui; The Haleakala Crater with a summit 3055 meters high. The vulcano is considered as an active vulcano, but the last eruprtion is believed to be in the 1600s. This is in the Haleakala National Park
I had planned to walk on the trails around the crater, but I didn't bring enough clothes. I should have brought a jacket and some gloves, the wind was pretty cold there.
Since there are very good conditions for astrophysical research (and of course surveillance of any kind), there is a Space surveillance center at the summit.
And yes, you can drive all the way to the top ;)

Aloha from Maui
I've had my first night at the Hostel here in Wailuku. This is a nice Hostel with nice people working and staying here. I'm staying in a private single bed room, and shares a kitchen and bathrooms with the rest of the guests here.
The first day here on Maui consisted of renting a car for my whole stay (A Dodge Caliber), buying summer clothing and footwear and buying cereals and milk for my breakfast the next days. After I got my car I went for a drive. I ended up at Ho'okipa beach which is the most photographed windsurfing spot in the world. Also today there were lots of photographers on the beach, and even a helicopter swirling over the windsurfers shooting photos and/or video.
I've found out that there are lots of exciting offers for activities here, so I'm quite sure I won't be bored, but more likely broke before I get back to Norway.
It's a small world: I met two german girls here at the hostel that stayed the Hostel I stayed at in Fernie, but left Fernie about3 weeks ago...

Next stop Hawaii - Surf's up
I've booked tickets to Maui today. The spring is all over BC now, so I decided to go for summer instead. I'm leaving on Wednesday March 25th from Calgary and returning 20th of April. Then I have 2 nights in Calgary before returning to Norway April 22. I hope to get to learn surfing during my 3,5 weeks in Maui. I'll be back with more when I get there :)

Hiking 2000 Ridge
I bought me skins for my skis on Thursday, so Friday 13th was the day for testing them. Anna-Karin, Johan and Amund brought their touring equipment as well, while Andreas and Cornelia without touring bindings and skins tried hiking by foot.
Here's my skis with skins on and touring bindings ready for action:
The first 10-20 meters I struggled to hold my balance, but when I got the rhythm and balance I climbed like mountain goat.
It was quite windy, so we didn't climb all the way to the top, but stopped after about 1,5 hour.
Unfortunately the snow wasn't very good this day. The wind had created a layer of hard snow, but there were patches of niceness...
And the video:

Kickersession in Lost Boys Pass
On Thursday March 12th we had a kickersession in Lost Boys Pass. We have to hike outside of the resort boundaries because its not allowed to build jumps inside the resorts system. We built two jumps with good soft snow for landing and a good curve. I did some solid 360's and was quite satisfied. Next time I'll have to do a grab too.
And of course a video that is also available in HD quality. I've learned a bit more about how to create HD videos now ;)

Catskiing March 9th
On Sunday Josefin knocked on my door and told me that the swedes at Elk were going catskiing the next day and that there was some seats left, so I joined them :) So there was 8 swedes and me.
The weather that day was quite cold and overcast, but I was only freezing on my toes the first hour. There was one window missing in the cat, so that made it even a bit colder We got 8 good runs, although the terrain was not as steep as I would've preferred, but it was a good day anyway. We had a photographer with us the first 3 runs, and she took some good pictures of us:
There are even more pictures in my Fernie album
