My desk
That’s what my desk looks at the moment 🙂 Nice teak decking on which I am working.
A few little ailments
I have a number of little ailments that bother me at the moment. Top on the list is mi finger where the nail-bed seems to be inflamed. It is quite swollen and mysteriously has turn green today (I will wash it in a minute and see if it goes away)…
A walk about Ängsö
Ängsö is one of the oldest nature reserves in Europe. It is a very small island left in peace where nature can just do it’s bit – it is one of the most beautiful places I have been to.
Even the Swedes were impressed
Sailing in the Swedish archipelago has a very unusual way of tying up at the rocks. Since the Schären are partly very steep, it is possible to sail right up to the rocks and dock as if it were a jetty. This is a bit nerve-racking as you never know if…

Sailing Akka
Finally we managed to hoist the sails and get her going! We sailed from Svinninge to Grinda where I bottled out and took the sails down since the stretch from Grinda to Ramsmora is pretty narrow and it started to rain. But it felt good to actually sail the sailing…
