The woman who helped us was very helpful and friendly. She even booked us a room in a hostel on the island we were paddling to. As for our adventure, the winds kicked up making it nearly impossible for me and my friend(novices) to paddle back from the island. No problem! They sent out a boat to pick us up(for a fee of course). The boat arrived relatively quickly too. to get there from Norrtaljie, you can take the 631(or 631x) bus which takes about 35mins.
