45km. Along the Blue ocean. Not too much to complain about :-))

That is, untill the 'rice w. tuna in Oil' that my supportdriver had skillfully prepared at the beach - keeled over' and landed on the seat, floor, 4wd. gearselector and in a crack in the carpet. But it doesnt smell much in a humid car filled w. '15 000km of running socks' to begin with ! ;-]

As my friends know I dont have much temper in those situations (or when the live-gps again disconnects/ is out of datasignal range, as today). Just a tiiiny litte bit.

I enjoyed my beachtent and a quiet night to the gentle sound of ocean waves, once the aftershock' from the fist-in-sand-&-carplate-&-rice-berserker session had ended.
