My life

So in Aschaffenburg go right and not left on the river Main if you want less stream in your face.. You did not know that, did you ? Hang on for more super imortante info 😉 From my Nokia. Im @heidenstrom on Twitter and @Rhine @Main or @Donau 😉

Motvind is Norwegian for wind against you… I want to hold 6 km in the hour. 7 is nice. 8 is great ! But the wind from my own Norway in the north pushes 4 to 5 km in my face. So Im on bad pace. Try standing on the…

Its 9 km to Mainz… The first man ever to paddle standing up from Basel to Mainz, 360 km, is and was Norwegian. The name of the ship is “Kjakan 24”. If Jens (pm) or Harald (king) is away from the office.. Please inform a mate that the flag is…
