There are always Russian intelligence services in Norway and vice versa. One Russian suspected spy was arrested yesterday after visiting the No. parliament. One No. suspected spy is jailed in Moscow. A few dead "tourists" have been found in the norhern areas over the years, people with no ID and nobody misses them. The new passage and petrolium areas in the Arctic might be worth quarreling about. The largest NATO camp since many years will be all over the country, mainly in the northern part, and it starts about now.
i think it was an interview with some locals by a Deutch journalist having theories about how the stream/tide works in that area, can someone help find ?Go drop another kayak in the fjord near Rognan and see what happens! The distance, the speed, if anyone notices it...
I'm all for science. If they find the place where the luggage went down, they may also find an explanation for the accident that may or may not have happened.
I no longer believe it was a robbery. Robbers would have taken his belt bag, or at least the money that was in it.
Padling from Fauske to Rognan is about 3,5 h, supposed to be a nice tour (except rainy evenings in Sept. after dark?). A local woman in an interview says to TV that items in the fjord outside Rognan often end up in Tussvika/Kvænfloget, but she also says there are people drowned in the fjord that never have been found. Another local say that he belive his leather bumbag thing was lost quite near they found it, he dosen't belive the stream took it from Rognan to Kvænfloget.
The tide you can see here: Se havnivå (eng. version click flag top right)
In No. mdia it\s written both: "trukket and dratt opp", meaning pulled, dragged by someone, and its written "a few days before the police found it". No clue how they are sure it has been in the water, in the pics it was not mounted properly, maybe someone with a kayak like this can tell if it looks not finished mounted or about to be packed together after use.
