Good morning Granholm
I have been here on Granholm numerous times now. I guess I will come again, even though the sandy beach is under the water this year.

Missed it so much
What a brilliant day! Off at 10am, anchor at 4 pm, and champagne sailing in between! A wonderful day on the water! And much needed after that COVID-19 year.
Bag fetish
My daughter mentioned the other day that I constantly buy bags. This surprised me, as I did not regard myself as being a bag-man personally. But she is right. I do have many bags but I could not resist another purchase a few days ago.

I am not sure exactly why it has taken me so long to get Akka ready this year. I arrived last Wednesday evening and still, the sails are not up yet! Sure, there is work-work, but normally Akka is afloat within a couple of days. Not his year. Maybe it…

Stockholm
