We went out to trap 'The Big One'

By Welsh Citizen Editor Bengt Lindell

It was early morning. My dad and I were in a small boat. I was rowing on an inlet of the Baltic Sea. We had to zig-zag a but between a few big rocks before we were on open water. A few smaller islands along that part of the coast worked as a barrier for protecting us from bigger waves. However, this morning was one of those mornings when the surface of the water looked like a mirror. The only ripples on the water came from me rowing, and from our boat gently cutting through the water.
