National Canoe Day Celebrated in Norway

We put in and paddled off into the protected waters of the fjord. Photo By James Raffan.

There was a small but very enthusiastic celebration of National Canoe Day led by Ingrid Skjoldvaer who lives in Sigerfjord in the Vesteralen region of Norway (above the Arctic Circle!). Ingrid is a member of a Norwegian Outdoors Club that has cabins all over the country. You join the club for about $15 a year and that entitles you to book these cabins (which are beautiful and in some intensely scenic locations around Norway). Ingrid invited CCM ED James Raffan and his wife Gail Simmons to go canoeing on an ocean fjord at Guvag, Norway.
