At Lille Bommen marina, right between a very “Tall Ship” and the Opera House, that complex building, which, in direct contrast to the simplicity of Oslo’s, must have been designed by a team of architects, all with different ideas, and all allowed one bit of it. Odd. But the locals are surely proud of it.
Nice downwind sail today, althought the first hour was with almost enough wind and yesterday’s rollers. After that it was good. The southern approaches amongst the islands up to the Göta River were very full of traffic, ferries, motor boats and sail boats all in their own directions. No peace at all, but felt competitive against three other sailors going the same way. Score: second place. They surely must have all been bigger than Josin, were they not?
Just across the roads, via a pedestrian bridge, is an enormous shopping center, which will receive my attention later today. It is gradually clouding over, rain is forecast, so indoor shopping will be popular.
All’s well, from SailorJohn
