Akka has new sails! Or shall I say 1 new sail at the moment. The foot of the main is too long! It is not much but it definitely is not right. Bengt from North-Sails offered to replace/fix it but he also suggested to make some amendments to the boom as…
We are afloat! Akka was lifted in yesterday morning and all went well. The starter battery needed replacing but that was done in a few minutes. Afterwards we made our way to Akersberga to get some shopping done and to meet North-Sails to take delivery of the new sails. But,…
We are back on Akka and we are finally online! Yours truly did an amazing thing while packing the office stuff. I managed to hide the Telia SIM card-holder which has the PIN for the SIM on it. So, when we arrived on Saturday I fired up my notebook to inform…

The day started with Tashi & Felix being picked up by a Taxi from the guest harbour and I was on my own again. Leaving Vaxholm was hampered by a thick fog that took a long time to clear. I decided therefore that I would spend another day in Stockholm…
