Bengt was away, so there was little point in staying the extra day, so now we ar on our sailing way northward. Lovely breeze on the Østbd quarter, another reason for not staying in Sandvik, nice place that it is.
As half-way planned, the fish restaurant on the quaysside provided a delicious fish soup yesterday evening. Recommended! Long chat with Leif den lykkelige and his wife Pia, neighbour boat from Denmark, who had started from Kalmar after lunch yesterday, and had a fast sail in the afternoon wind. I obvoiusly started too early, as that wind only reached us just before we got in. Never mind.
Boat -fixing yesterday concentrated on radio equipment. AIS was blank. Simple solution. Aerial cable had come unplugged! Bingo! VHF needed operability from the cockpit, so the hand-held was installed there. Rational.
The wind angle and strength is just about right to use the Gennaker sail, but the waves are at that angle and strength to make us roll like a doll, so venturing onto the foredeck to hoist sail is postponed. Hopefully as we get nearer the mainland, the waves will calm, and we can maybe try again.
Sunshine is intense, but I’m all covered up, to protect the pinkness from yesterday. Shame!
All’s well.

I can see from Find Friends that you have made it to Krakelund. Hope you had a good sail and are safely tucked up. My picture shows you at anchor – is that right? Love your new posts, keep writing. Love, Marg
