Crossing The Reef

Another success story, of concur the almighty deep blue velvet. This time we are back on Hvaler the surfing capital of Østfold. Andre are loaded with strength, after a furious day in the office, and me from scrubbing the floor of the long summers party.
Its Autumn weather, small bris and some rain drops, but water still is + 16, a pleasant temperature for cold blooded. We sett of in our Eskimo boats towing the boards behind, this time with a helmet camera to document our adventure, a new an smart technology that we`ll be using more.
The aim is a island 3 km out in the ocean, we bee passing birdnest rocks and crossing open sea til we end up in a safe bay on the back side of the island Akerøy. Hurricane Irene had stirred up the Atlantic and sent us this mayhem. Waves was strong but currents even stronger! Andre got caught up in a tidal current on its way to Kattegat. I had smelled the danger and landed on our safe beach, after a hour of paddling Andre finally caught up with me. But he was shocked and wasn't keen to enter that tide with his surfboard. We calmed down with sausage number five, some tee and chocolate. Sun was about to dive into ocean, and darkness was on the doorstep, then we saw a beautiful tube rumbling on a reef far out of reach.
