🥦Mizuo's Travel Blog🥦No.45 - Mälaren lake, Stockholm, Sweden 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 - Jul. 2023
We took a canoe to an uninhabited island.
I am writing this blog in August and the temperature has already dropped to 16 degrees. Is summer already over?
I want to feel summer. In summer, I want to sweat, go to the beach or river, and have a BBQ. Last month, I decided to go to a nearby lake and rent a boat to go to a deserted island. When I say deserted island, I mean a BBQ island floating in the lake.
I went kayaking last year, so I think I have some idea of paddling technique.........darn! I was completely underestimating it.
When we kayaked, we used oars that were double-headed, but this day, what a one-headed oar. Seriously. It was tough, I mean, seriously tough!
Don't eat cookies all the time! I was about to snap my sambo, but I knew that it would make my vacation less fun and I didn't want to row alone, so I made my peace and just rowed. LOL!
When I, sitting in the front, and my sambo, sitting in the back, were out of breath, I lost control of the rudder and almost ran us aground on land several times. Seriously!
After about an hour and a half of rowing the oars, the island came into view. As a hermit (hikikomiro), I am far from exercising, so my arms were already sore after an hour and a half of rowing the oars.
I see the island---! I wanted to shout. Landing on a deserted island is something to get excited about, isn't it? I thought I had come prepared, but I forgot my flip-flops, and when I stepped ashore barefoot and lifted the boat, I immediately cut my foot. I hated myself for being a city person who gets injured as soon as I leave the city. So lame I am!
We successfully landed and then prepared for the BBQ and relaxed on the island by ourselves. I read books and manga, and my sambo was swimming even though it was cold. Yes, the water doesn't get warm in Stockholm even in summer.
"You aren't gonna swim?" my sambo was asking me. I was eating sausages grilled on the BBQ while my sambo was floating in the cold water of Mälaren lake. I had thought of swimming since we had come this far, but the water was too cold! Yes, even though it was summer, the water was so cold that I thought I was training my heart not to stop in the cold water, or something. "It's fun!" my sambo was calling in to the water. But my honest feeling was, "It's so cold, my heart will stop!" I thought. LOL!
But then, to my surprise, a moment arrived when the overcast sky cleared up. Yes, the moment arrived when the sky was clear and the sun was shining down on us. I had come this far, and there was no way I was not going to swim! So I quickly changed into my swimsuit and went for a swim. It was cold! I mean, so cold! But it felt great!
Finally, I jumped off the island cliff into the lake. This was a really good memory.
Looking back, this was one of the best memories of the summer. Huh? Summer is already over? I was in Stockholm when I realized that it was starting to get cold. I really miss the sun.
The good times go by so fast, don't they? We were on the island for about 3 hours and time flew by as we swam, napped, BBQ'd, talked, etc. The next thing we knew, it was almost time to return the boat, and we decided to leave the island early, thinking that it took 1.5 hours to come and even longer to return because we were tired.
I'm so glad I heeded the advice of the old man at the boatyard who told me it would take twice as long to get back. It was so hard to row the oars on the way back that we became silent and just kept on rowing....no time to waste.... I was so tired! But I thought this was a good kind of fatigue. I would like to go again with my friends. No, I think I will keep this place as our BBQ island like a secret base.
無人島にカヌーで行ってきた。
このブログを書いているのは8月だが、気温はすでに16度まで下がっている。夏はもう終わったのだろうか?
夏を感じたい。夏はやっぱり、汗をかいて、海とか川とか行って、BBQするのがいいですよね。先月、近くの湖に行ってボートを借りて無人島へ行くことにしました。無人島と言っても、湖に浮かんでいるBBQ島です。
昨年カヤックに乗ったので、なんとなく漕ぐテクニックは自分なりにわかってると。。。完璧になめてました。
カヤックの時は、ダブルヘッドになったオールを使ったのですが、この日はなんとワンヘッドのオール。まじかよ。しんどいやん、ってか、まじでしんどいやん!
クッキーばっかり食わんと、漕げよ!と切れそうになりましたが、切れたところでせっかくの休暇が面白くないし、独りで漕ぐとか絶対いややと思ったので、ここは和解し、ひたすら漕ぎました。(笑)
前方に座るわたしと、後ろに座るわたしのサンボとの息が合わなくなると舵のコントロールが出来なくなり、何度か陸に座礁しそうになりました。まじかよ!
オールを漕いで1時間半ぐらいした時に島が見えてきました。引きこもりのわたしにとって全く運動とは程遠い生活をしているので、1時間半もオールを漕いだ時には腕が既に痛くなっていました。
島が見えたぞ―――!!と叫びたくなりました。無人島に上陸するって、なんかテンション上がりますよね。準備してきてたと思ったのですが、ビーチサンダルを忘れ、はだしで陸に降りてボートを持ち上げると、すぐに足を切りました。やっぱり、都会から離れるとすぐに怪我する現代人だと、自分自身がしょぼすぎて嫌になりました。
上陸に成功し、その後はBBQの準備をしたり、各々に島でリラックスりました。わたしは本や漫画を読んだり、わたしのサンボはさっむいのに泳いでいました。そう、ストックホルムって夏でも水が温かくならないんですよ。
「泳がないの~?」と聞いてくるサンボを横目に、BBQでソーセージを焼いて食べていました。ここまで来たから、やっぱり泳ごうとは思っていたのですが、いかんせん、水が冷たい!そう、夏なのに水が冷たく、修行かと思うぐらい冷たいのです。「楽しいよー。」と誘われても、わたしの本音と言えば、「冷たすぎて心臓とまるわ!」と思っていました。
ところが驚いたことに、曇り空が晴れる瞬間がやってきた。そう、空が晴れて、太陽が私たちを照らす瞬間が来ました。ここまで来たのだから、泳がないわけにはいかない!さっそく水着に着替えて泳ぎにきました。まっちゃ寒かった!寒かった!でも、最高にいい思い出が出来ました!
最後は調子に乗って、島の崖からジャンプして湖に飛び込みました。これは本当によい思い出になりました。
今思えば、これがこの夏、サイコーの思い出になりました。え?夏はもう終わったの?と気づいたときには寒くなり始めているストックホルム。本当に太陽が恋しいです。
楽しい時間はあっという間に過ぎますね。島では3時間ぐらいいたのですが、泳いだり、昼寝したり、BBQしたり、話したり、あっという間に時間が過ぎ去っていきました。気が付けば、ボートを返す時間が迫ってきており、来るのに1時間半かかり、帰りは疲れているのでもっとかかると考えて早めに島を出発することにしました。
ボート屋のおっちゃんが、「帰りは2倍の時間がかかるよ」と言ってたアドバイスを聞いてて本当によかったです。帰りはオールを漕ぐのがつらく、もう、無言になりひたすら漕ぎ続けました。疲れたー!でもこれって、いい疲労感だなと思いました。また、今度は友達と一緒に着たいな。いや、やっぱりここは秘密基地の様にわたしたちのBBQ島として記念にしとくかな。
