Hey dear patrons and greetings from Northern Finland. We're still kind of stuck here, but we've found some stuff to do on the fjells :) We spent the last 5 days camping and skiing/kiteskiing across the wilderness here and above are some quick photos from the trip. Tomorrow I'll probably be setting off on a solo kiteskiing trip. Being able to drag all of your belongings behind you in a pulk and getting pulled by a kite is amazing and reminds me a bit of coastal sailing... except that this is in winter. I can easily do more than 50 kilometers per day with the kite (longest daytrips so far around 100 km). On flat ground it would be possible to do even longer distances, but here the terrains is not that easy to navigate.

All of these winter adventures are at least great training for our trip to Greenland, although COVID is putting some obstacles on our way we're still planning to sail there and overwinter there.

Hope you had a nice Easter!

Great pictures, thanks! So kite skiing is a thing :D There has been someone doing something that looked like kite skiing on sea ice in Helsinki between Herttoniemenranta, Kulosaari and Laajasalo, right up until last week when even all but the most foolhardy ice fishermen no longer dared venture there :D
