Got away on time

Thunder storm behind us
Ice after hailstorm
Boat tied up Nynäshamn
Morning view
Hailstorm passed
Scherben

Second coffee while sailing

In German there is a saying: "Scherben bringen Glück!" and we had luck today, because Dee broke a bowl doing dishes.
Waking up to sunshine after a lot of rain yesterday night and a good departure from our anchoring with Dee rowing to the boat after getting all the pegs and ropes sorted.
Then exciting passages through "Dragets kanal" and "Tattmarström" where you either think: How can that be a passage or do we even fit through?  But we did and passed beautiful places on our way. Then we sailed with just the Genoa (big front sail)set with wind from behind and sideways and hit the 6 knots mark!
And when we finally approached Nynäshamn that we decided to go to one day earlier, because of the weather forecast, we saw thunder clouds building up before and behind us, but it did not start raining until we were safe. Around 1 hour later a big hailstorm hit and we only had to make sure all hatches were closed. One had not sealed completely,  but we were quick to discover and get it tight.
In Dee's eyes we did our best harbour maneuver of all days. I disagree, but results count and Dee did not get wet!
Tomorrow we will stay here,  because weather is supposed to be nasty. We are planning to go to a Spa around the corner and get some shopping done!
