Unfortunately, we were not allowed to mix up due corona and so we stayed only two nights. I really appreciate the work that the coordinater put in that this last amazing trip could take place because at that moment the corona situation in Kristiansand got worse and we needed to fulfil all recommendations\/rules of the city.<\/p>\n<p>We left the university at Monday morning and took the bus to Kongshavn. 16 people kayaked to the island and the rest with all the\u00a0 luggage drove with a motor boat. On the way we saw the old village of the island (school, fisher houses..) which are now renovated cabins. The old military houses on the east of the island are rebuilt to hostels with bathrooms and kitchen and nowadays get used for educational purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Our whole group split up in 4 groups and we rotated every half a day to a new activity. My group started with motor boats. We needed to carry the really heavy boats in the water and attached the motor to the back. First we talked about sea maps and i learned a lot!\u00a0 Kjetal, our teacher, seemed to me very experienced and I loved that he included the students all the time. It was not really easy to start the motor boats with the waves and Kjetal started explaining what we have to do while the motors of the three boats were running, which made it more difficult. At the end we all found out how to start and steer the boat and drove into different bays. It&#8217;s pretty useful to have this knowledge, because that&#8217;s how you come from A to B on sea but I would never do it just for fun. Motorboats destroy the magical tranquillity on sea and it&#8217;s bad for the environment.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening Kjetal told us about the historical background of the island and we visited the military bunker. The norwegian military built a long tunnel under the earth with a command center (where they checked all the boats coming from the sea in the direction of Kristiansand to inform the soldiers to bring guns into position) and a contamination room. It was very interesting to actually be in the rooms under the earth and learn something about Norwegian history.<\/p>\n<p>We found a beautiful sleeping spot where we were almost 360 degrees surrounded by the sea. After a colourful sunset we fell asleep with the bright sky above us.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-243\" src=\"http:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/6-226x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"249\" height=\"326\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first activity the next day was biology and I realised how much I\u2019m interested in the natural phenomenas around us. We got scoops, kind of googles and buckets and collected sea animals to identify\u00a0 and learn more about them. Our lecturer boilt shrimps, snails and shells and we were able to eat them. My biggest desire was just to release them back to the sea. It was really cool to see how passionated the lecturer was about his subject and I would love to take over some of his teaching methods.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-247\" src=\"http:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/8-226x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/8-226x300.png 226w, https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/8-377x500.png 377w, https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/8.png 458w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-245\" src=\"http:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/7-219x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/7-219x300.png 219w, https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/7-365x500.png 365w, https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/7.png 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After lunch we went rowing with Peter and his dog, which was with him all the time. We rowed out and fished with a fishing leash but only one boat caught a fish. I was pretty glad that we didn\u2019t catch one! Afterwards we learned how to disembowel a fish.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-249\" src=\"http:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/9-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/9-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/9-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/9.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/files\/2021\/06\/9-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The evening we enjoyed having dinner all together, played spike ball and volleyball and Maike and Elli played the guitare and we sang. Unfortunately the mosquitos were really aggressive but funnily enough on our sleeping spot we had none. Both nights outside were wonderful!<\/p>\n<p>In the next morning we needed to clean the whole property and did our last activity. It was really windy and so the kayaking was challenging, but we experienced how easy it is to\u00a0 avoid the wind while staying close to shore on the opposite side of the island where the wind blows from. We did the T-rescue\/capsizing drill and paddled back to get changed. Due to the broken motor boat that we used for transportation, we walked to the northest point of the island and a ferry picked us up.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m thankful for\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;5 month of freedom and positive vibes<\/p>\n<p>\u2026leaning about different outdoor activities<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 experiencing the real wild nature<\/p>\n<p>\u2026being a part of a community\/family<\/p>\n<p>\u2026get to know international people<\/p>\n<p>\u2026feeling experienced about planning trips<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 get to know myself better and improved my leader skills<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assignment 7 Coastel Course on Randoya When:\u00a006- 2.06.21 Where:\u00a0Randoya What: Kayaking, Rowing, Fishing, Biology and Motorboat 3 words, that describe the experience the best:\u00a0sea, water sports, history My Orange(best moment): biology lesson My Lemon(worst moment): mosquitos What i want to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/assignments-2021\/assignment-7\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2949,"featured_media":0,"parent":41,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/239"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2949"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/239\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253,"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/239\/revisions\/253"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/41"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/antonias\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
