Description of the day

A long day of rowing in calm and hot summer weather. Just after breakfast Sören saw a dolphin make a perfect show jump just in front of the boat, and a few minutes later we had a pod of around 20 dolphins surrounding us. After 10 curious minutes they left. At lunch Sören went for a swim, and after the next rowing shift Måns did the same. Now we feel refreshed and in a great mood! The evening gave us moonlight and a beautiful starry sky, and Måns saw a falling star with a fire and smoke tail that broke into burning pieces. We see falling stars every night, but not this close.

Coalition Clean Baltic- Save the baltic porpoise

In the 1950’s and 1960’s, nylon fishing nets were introduced. These nets are more durable and easier for the fishermen to handle than the old ones, and the amount of nets in the Baltic increased, which meant the by-catches also increased.

Aphorism

Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths.
