We remained at Hällevik for two more days waiting for the right winds to come and the 14 June we left and decided to go as far as possible. It was quite cold so we were so happy to use our very nice sailing suits during the night. It’s like carrying your own little house […]
For two days we have been staying in a wonderful fishing harbour named Hällevik. In Skåne I thought until I looked at a map and saw that it’s actually situated in Blekinge.Very close to Skåne it is but I know that this is a very sensitive subject for the people in these regions so it […]
Our stay in Kalmar is nice but also hard work. We went to Kalmar to meet with Judy and Jonatan but it is also a good place for maintenance. When the boat went into the water there were still things left to do. We decided to make the boat livable and sailable and to do […]
We have stayed in Nynäshamn for a few days so that we could say goodbye to our loved ones, and it has been nice, fun and very emotional ♥♥ Now it is time for us to move on and we decided to go directly from Nynäshamn to Kalmar without stopping on the way which meant the […]

But before that we visited the boat fair in Stockholm. It was a sweet little fair (what a difference with Dusseldorf) and we visited some companies. One […]
Winter 2016/2017 As soon the temperatures dropped I started on the inside job. Taking care of the engine room. When I started to take out wiring I wanted to replace I noticed that the diode bridge that was installed was completely ruined and strangely wired. The generator on the engine (with a charging computer) charged […]
Summer 2016 The summer in 2016 was mostly spent on the maintenance on deck. The fittings of the poles were reinforced because there were a lot of stresscracks. By opening the ceiling inside I could see why. They fitted the poles with small bolts without a counterplate and they didn’t use the whole sandwich construction but […]
May 2016, We have decided to go to Norrköping with the boat for big maintenance. It is ½ hour from our cottage and all the important shops are close by. We first had the idea to go to Norsholm with the boat. It would have been more close to our cottage but much further […]
