I seem to have brought north wind and rain with me and I spend a lot of time being grateful that this year we aren’t in the folk boat but in something big enough to have a loo and space to stand up in. And that doesn’t leak water onto…
We are having a very cold spell at the moment and when we get up it is about 9 degrees inside the boat – not very cosy. The weather should change towards the mid of the week so we are in hope. We spent all day yesterday at Gällnö doing…
We sailed from Vaxholm to Gällnö today and had a wonderful 3-4 Bft from the west (i.e. wind from the back), which meant that the sailing was very gentle and comfy. The weather was sunny but very cold and I had to wear my thick jumper all day 🙁 We…

A picture postcard from Sweden – enjoy!

I moved from Gällnö to Ladna today and who do you think do I met there – my Finnish friends! A small world indeed. They invited me too coffee and a snack in the afternoon and I just got Akka sip-shape for the G&T later. Here a picture of Abigail…
