Paddle with seals

In Havstensfjord the water is often calm. The fjord is protected from westerly winds by Orust and we can usually quietly slide around and look for the fjord's natural inhabitants. The chances of getting company from the fjord's seal colony is good. We help each other to look out for heads emerging near the kayaks and curiously peering at us. But who is actually checking out who? Havstensfjord is also Sweden's eider densest area, partly thanks to the mussel farms which are evenly spread out on the water, offering a favorite buffet of food for the birds. With a decent portion of good luck we can also spot a sea eagle circling in the sky above. What is definitely certain is that we will have a nice lunch and coffee break on an island along the way.
