KONG49 - Day Five

Conditions are definitely improving. Nothing interesting from Asia so far, but overnight there were spots with interesting stations from North America. Some of the less common stations noted on the 340 beverage:

1150 KSAL-KS (no sign of WHBY), 1260 KTRC-NM, 1310 KGLB-MN, 1450 KGIW-CO

Judging from the LoranD overnight Yaslog, we should see some interesting catches from there as well!


Around noon, I went for another run on the 890, covering 11.5 km, while OJ and Ole took a hike to the lighthouse.

890 continues another 30 km to Berlevåg from where I turned back.

In the afternoon, seeking a shower and sauna due to the Arctic Lodge's temporary closure, we headed to the swimming pool in Berlevåg, which offered all these facilities.

Dinner! Ole introduced us to locally produced sausages from his home area, with key ingredients like beef, lamb meat and wild garlic. Accompanied by root vegetable paste and salad. Like yesterday, we enjoyed a Côte du Rhône red wine with the meat. Dessert is temporarily postponed.

Weather remained relatively warm at 8-9 degrees Celsius, with cloudy skies and intermittent light rain, accompanied by stronger winds. However, it wasn't enough to keep us indoors. The forecast for tomorrow predicts cooler temperatures, with a high of 6 degrees Celsius, but it is expected to be sunny!

And tomorrow, we will have guests! In fact, three very special guest stars! And we will serve a very special dinner! 

Stay tuned for details!

Boys, your age is starting to show:
"Dessert is temporarily postponed."
You still have a chance to redeem yourself when your secret guests arrive from, may I guess, some eastern area.

What veggies normally make up your "root vegetables" mix? I like making a soup out of a variety of them, including parsnip, turnip, garlic, onion, carrot, and whatever else is lying around.
