Jury meeting 2022-10-27

Date: 2022-10-29
On Thursday 27 October there was a jury meeting for the trio Victoria Bergmark, Jonna Ingvaldsson and Jan Olof Johansson. All three started separately and during the journey Victoria and Jonna converged at Lysekil. At the height of Falkenberg, Jan Olof joined. Therefore, there were three separate passages up to Falkenberg and then a common route that was well drawn on the maps. The jury this time consisted of Jim Danielsson, Thorvald Nielsen, Lennart Bergström and Peter Sjödin.

For Jan Olof, this was his third conquest of the Havspadlarna Blå Band - impressive!

After the briefing, Jim offered a sandwich with a drink in the usual order, followed by coffee and a magnificent cake.

Jury meeting 2022-09-24

Date: 2022-09-24
On Saturday 24 September there was a jury meeting for Richard Asker. It was a clear and thorough account, even with moving pictures. The jury consisted of just two members, Jim Danielsson and Sven Berggren, and together they represented 7 HBB paddlings.

Richard rolled 4 times in very rough weather.

The jury is grateful that Richard, like previously Lena and Pontus, heeded our appeal to respect the border marker Nº 59 by only placing the hand on the top stone without climbing up onto the border marker.

Jury meeting 2022-08-30

Date: 2022-08-30
On Tuesday, August 30, there was a jury meeting for Lena and Pontus. The jury, chaired by Jim Danielsson, carefully reviewed the entire paddling distance from Svinesund to border marker Nº 59 in Virtakari.

After eye contact, both Lena and Pontus were able to certify "With my kayak-honor at stake, I have taken part of the rules, understood them and complied with them". Thus, the jury could happily state that they have both conquered the Sea Paddlers Blue Ribbon of Sweden.

This was followed by the distribution of the fine miniature kayaks, which will be a nice memory of the completed paddling.

As usual, a little refreshment and coffee with cake then followed.
