How nice to get up a little later, get fresh buns and have them with scrambled eggs for breakfast! Then there’s time for some geocaches. On the way I saw this ‚outdoor sea bath‘, it looks wonderful but I’m not the one to go into that cold water. Later we had some icecream, only three… Artikel ansehen
Another beautiful sunrise, although to tell you the truth, at 6 o’clock in the morning I have difficulties appreciating it. Then we passed Stora Ekön, where we had our surprise with the almost dead battery seven weeks ago. Now we are right in the center of Karlshamn, even with three other boats beside us, and… Artikel ansehen
Sunrise in Kristianopel, so we did leave early and were even able to sail the first half of the distance. Then through the inner fairway and towards the wind we had to use the motor but had the advantage that the waves weren’t as high. In Karlskrona I saw this ‚horse‘, a great way to… Artikel ansehen
Weather forecast predicted southwesterly wind at 5bft with gusts up to 7 or 8 so we stayed in Kristianopel for the day. The little town seems deserted, nobody on the nearby campground, but there’s sunshine and the open store, so… Tomorrow the wind is supposed to ease a bit so we’ll see if we can… Artikel ansehen
Kalmar showed its sunny side when we left and Kristianopel did the same when we arrived. We don’t know if we broke the boat’s record but we were fast, only needed 5 hours and 15 minutes for 29.5nm which makes an average of 5.6knots! Fun! On our way north we needed 11 hours, but then… Artikel ansehen
We started early today, it was cold, around 54°F or 12°C, the wind was weak but the direction was OK. On the way we saw the ‚blue virgin‘ from the other side. The wind picked up, it rained, feels like fall! Now we’re moored in Borgholm, which means that our northern loop is closed! An… Artikel ansehen
What a nice place to stay for a day. Like many other harbors so far they have washing machines and dryers we can use free of charge. So, since we can do our laundry quite frequently, I’m wearing the same things over and over again, never get to the clothes farther down in the cupboard…. Artikel ansehen
I didn’t have a very positive memory of Västervik, don’t really know why, but it’s very nice! The surroundings of the harbor are kept really well, there is a large wooden deck for sunbathing and swimming in the summer, there must be quite a knitting fraction in town since we saw so many things covered… Artikel ansehen
