So while showering and between sauna turns we met one lady from the Swedish neighbor boat telling us her husband had called our boat "herrlösa båten " which is true we do not have any men on board momentarily. Funny is that the meaning "herrlösa " also has the meaning "no owner" both in Swedish or German,  but is not translatable.

Weather predictions for Monday was to start raining around noon mixed with thunder and strong gusts, so I planned us to take shelter in the guest harbour Furusund on an small island with a bit of a history and a few things to do.
Waking up in Norrpadda though we had sunshine and a beautiful view. Mia again did yoga with us this time on flat rocks facing the sun an absolutely stunning experience. We rounded our morning exercise up by taking a bath naked!

After breakfast we left the harbour with Mia taking the last rock peg out on land and rowing to the boat with the dinghy.
We still had sun and favorable wind from behind starting out, but slowly we saw the dark clouds from the weather front moving in with rain clouds covering the entire sky.
Just before the harbour Furusund we needed to put on our rain gear and it started to downpour. We had called in advance so Mike the young harbour master awaited us at the pier helping us find our spot and taking our lines which made the maneuver easier.
When docked we all dissappeared under deck preparing lunch and Mia read out loud what Furusund island had to offer on touristy sights.
After the rain subsided I went to the kiosk at the car ferry crossing to do one load of wash and the others went grocery shopping at the store next to the gas station. Apparently Lovisa was shocked at the food prices in the store which were a lot higher than she is used to in Kristianstad. They still managed to bring groceries back to the boat because Lovisa suffocated her urge to put all the food back, I learned this during our lovely dinner at Furusunds Värdshus.

Now sun is shining again, we have done yoga on the pier and breakfast is ready.
A long great sailing day awaits us today!
