My foot ist still recovering and I am keeping it slow for the moment. And, more importantly, I am enjoying the company of Abigail. So nice to anchor side-to-side and to have visits from boat to boat. I have kept myself busy today with work-work, boat DIY, kayaking, cooking and…
So good to meet up with my friends Peter & Eija from Finland. I met them back in 2014 and we have kept contact since then. We meet up whenever they come down into the archipelago. Two years ago, I visited them in Kaskinen. And here at Paradiset we meet…

I am getting better! The time to travel to Sweden and to get Akka into the water was super fast. I left Vienna on a Sunday night train to Hamburg and Akka was in the water on Tuesday midday. She managed the winter again without any damages, but the paint…
A very short summer for Akka, Nils and me this year. But even though it was only a brief visit, I had a great time – again! Travelling and getting the boat ready for the lifts takes a lot of time away and it actually does not make much sense…
