About your story of today ;-)
Tara, your STORY reminded me about something over 40 years ago.
I was with my father and Per out along this north coast pulling a little trawl (A fishing net in shape as a bag but much bigger) Per was holding one end of the trawl and my dad rowed the little dinghy out in a curve letting the net go meter after meter til he had the middle part of the net. Then he rowed toward the shore (still in an curve) and ended, where I stood to receive the other end of the net. Then we pulled in meter after meter in each end of the trawl and every time we had a red mark we yelled "MARK" so we could pull it ind same speed on both ends. And then we began go toward eachother.
At last the trawl was in and it was so exciting to see, what we had in the net. We did that MANY MANY times moving east of the North coast by night.
I never realized how far we had gone, until we had to walk back to the car with fish and all, leaving the boat behind in order to take it the next day in "Klint"
We walked an endless walk at 4AM and I had a feeling, that we had walked forever. At last I simply disconnected my brain and walked like a zombie. But of course we made it and brought home severel codfish and flat fish and and trouts. Not bad. OH, but was I happy to be home and in bed. Though...I was ready to do that again another night. It was great fun :-)

The community leader, Ashley and I are working on this. Spread the word, I think a lot of people from the galleries can have fun with this.

Tara? Nice clear capture of the North Coast of Denmark, Helle. I'm glad you said that your story was from forty years ago and not just recently, or I would have wondered how you could go on trips like that with your current physical problems.

A beautiful capture of this lovely coastline Helle. Your fishing trip reminded me of how we used to catch flounders at night with a net just like that and ending up miles up the beach. 😀

So interesting to read about your fishing expedition! This coast is bleak but beautiful.

A beautiful photo, and a delightful story, Helle! It's fun to remember all those adventures (and prepare for new ones).

I read this the day you posted it, and I love your story! I told Bill all about it, and we had a nice chat about what that must have been like. It must have sparked further conversation, because I apparently wandered off without commenting! 😜 Someone mentioned it to me, thinking I hadn’t seen it, and I was surprised to find I hadn’t said anything!
The picture of your beach adds so much to the stiry, because I can so easily imagine it.
I grew up on the beach too, and my brother and I would occasionally get very brave and walk all the down to the dock. We were very small .., maybe four or five years old. Imagine my surprise when I visited my home town as an adult and realized we were only three houses away from the dock! LOL!
