Buið!

The circle is complete.
At least the circle I was making around a small northern country this summer is officially closed.

Yes, yes, I have more blogging to do, gaps to fill, and pictures to download. These things may accumulate slowly over the next two weeks.

But I wanted to announce that I did have a wonderful day of paddling. The sun was shining all day, it was one of the clearest days I´ve experienced in Iceland, after a few hours it was warm enough to paddle without pogies, there was little wind, small waves, a beautiful evening sky that went from steel gray to purple to a light blue, and though I didn´t see any whales, I saw dolphins, I had a small friendly contingent greet me at Reykjavik´s boathouse, and of course to complete the day and properly celebrate, I had an ice cream cone dipped in chocolate. Mmmm.

  6. Margret, this is Bob Brown, we met off shore of Iceland. I am still amazed upon motoring up to you and seeing you bare handed(without gloves) paddling by yourself. Congrats on a job well done. sorry it took me so long to post a comment.
