Christian, a professional arborist is on board. I had to hold myself back and let him enjoy the first day of his holiday but yesterday I could no longer wait. There were a few jobs to be done at the masttop and along the mast so we got everything ready…
Yesterday was a stressful day! After coming into Stockholm via Saltsjöbaden and Nacka (the wonderful narrow channel from the south) I had to do the washing, meet up with Christian and Margit, do the food planning for the coming week with them, get the shopping done, and stow everything in its…
