We parked the car and went to the common area, where there were various small shops. We all enjoyed a sandwich and drink, before boarding the Sandormen for the ride out to the point. It is also called Grenen (The branch). This where the waters of the Bering Sea and the North Sea clash, each coming from opposite directions.
Aboard the Sandormen for the ride out. It takes the huge tractor to pull the trailer through the sand.
Leah and Max share a laugh on the way out.
The air is cool and the wind blows at a constant 40 to 50 mph. Sand comes with it!
Max watches Morton wading out into the water and decides to join him.
The Point. Water from the Kattegat (Cat's gut) and the Bering Sea come from the east and water from the Skaterrak and the North Sea come from the west. To the east is Sweden and to the west is Norway.
Morton and Max in the (very) cold water.
Sam plays in the sand.
Sam says "You're cold? Oh yeah, you're not a Viking"
The waters collide. I can't imagine what it must feel like in a boat.

One last look before we board the Sandormen for the ride back.
Max appreicates Daddy warming him up.
It was a great trip and something that can't be seen in many places of the world.
