Z morskim kajakiranjem sem se prvič srečal pred 12 leti, ko sva med potovanjem po Vietnamu zavila tudi do Halong baya. In ker nama ni dišalo, da bi ta biser narave odkrivala s “penzonistično” ladjico, sva se na koncu odločila za večdnevno nepozabno morsko kajakiranje. Iskanje skritih lagun, spanje na samotnih plažah, druženje z ribiči so mi ostali v spominu do sedaj. Pred dnevi smo z našo floto kajakov skočili na hitri odklop do sosednjega Rovinja in otočkov, ki ležijo v njegovi bližini. In kljub temu, da bi Rovinjsko kuliso težko primerjal s svetovno znanim zalivom Halong bay, pa je bilo kajakiranje spet super. Čarobno je odkrivanje morske obale s čolničkom pod tvojo ritjo. 🙂 Predvsem pa mi je super, ko preživim ure in ure skupaj najmlajšim članom ekipe. Ob opazovanju morja in morskega življa, kramljanju, pogovarjanju, za katerega si ponavadi vzamemo čisto premalo časa.

I was first introduced to sea kayaking 12 years ago when we traveled along the Halong Bay in Vietnam. Because we did not want to discover that amazing place with tour boats, we decided to explore it in multiday sea kayak adventure. The trip was amazing and I still remember when we were exploring hidden lagoons, sleep on lonely sandy beaches, spend time with local fishermen… A few days ago we went on a short sea kayak trip to Rovinj and its small islands. And despite the fact that its difficult to compare Rovinj’s scenery with the world-famous Halong bay, the kayaking was still great. It’s magical to discover the seashore with a boat under your ass. 🙂 But the best thing is, that I am spending really quality time with my son, chatting about all things, for which unfortunately we usually don’t really have time.
