A quiet and relaxing day

Hello everyone,

Today was a quiet day with not so much to do. There was bad weather in the morning, with rain and strong winds, so we decided to sleep in a bit. Then we tried to fix some waders and repair a broken bike. Unfortunately, the waders turned out to be damaged beyond repair, so they will have to be used as scrap. As for the bike, we had some trouble fixing it, so we’ll have to come back to that later.

We’ve also been working on adding strings to the world map to connect every pin with Skagen. Our world map shows where all of our volunteers come from, and up to this point we’ve had volunteers from 3 different continents. I put the finishing touches on it today, and I must say I think it looks quite nice now!

Lucas and Myrthe went into town for the music festival and spent several hours enjoying the music. While they were gone, Benjamin and I had dinner with our lovely guests, Jeppe and Linda. Afterwards, we walked along the beach and saw a ringed Rødstrubet lom (Red-throated Diver), which came close enough for us to get some excellent views. It would be interesting to know where this bird was ringed, but we couldn’t read the number.

People: Myrthe Van Brempt, Lucas Corneliussen, Benjamin Bech, Asia Kane, Jeppe and Linda, Simon S. Christiansen, Lisa Vergin
