Kalmar

Motor all the way here yesterday, with wind up to 30 knots on the nose, and short, sharp waves to battle and splash against. Much spray. One rainstorm quickly past. Kalmar harbour nearly full, but a narrow space between bigboats suited Josin well, but on the long-walk side to the facilities. Good exercise then. Big clothes wash in a machine which stopped in the middle of its cycle, and needed ‘a man’ to come and wake it up again. Life is full of surprises!

Slow morning this morning, waiting for the ‘boat-toy’ shop to open. Found in their catalogue, while in the washingmachine wait, an electrical bit which would improve battery charging a lot. Shop opens at nine. Then lastminute shopping, then hopefully away.
