I have been quiet here on the blog, as I had such a good time with the arrivals – Angelika and Christian! After a semi-sight seeing day (Wasa museum) we went to Napoleonviken and had a great BBQ that did not start until 10pm. But light aplenty here, this did…

Sunday was a day of rest and a day of work for me. I managed to finish a work-work job and turned my attention later to Akka. New shelves for toothbrushes etc., replacing the pin for the guard-wire that I dropped into the sea, floorboards in the bow area and…
