Now I have decided to fullfill my dream to return on a sailboat spending at least 3 months exploring the archipelago as a grown up. This blog will document my planning, preparation and my journey.Sofiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03027080150455859510noreply@blogger.comBlogger148125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275983324018277185.post-33215326267854541742015-02-06T08:25:00.000-08:002015-02-06T08:33:51.706-08:00Sailing Reunion Party Invitation <div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Dear Blog followers or visitors,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">today I finally sent away all the invitations for my sailing
party on March 21, 2015 from 19 o'clock on. Should you feel entitled to come
and not receive an invitation with the post the next days, please feel free to
contact me.<br />
The venue I have chosen for the party is at <a href="http://www.solheure.ch/" target="_blank">SolHeure ind Solothurn</a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">a room that has a beamer and can hold up to 50 people.
So for that to work everybody should tell me latest on the 14<sup>th</sup> of
March, if you can come or not, so enough food and drinks are available.<br />
I love to see you all there especially my
different crews, but since they are scattered across Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and Australia, only some who made this summer so great will be able to join.
But many of my friends or acquaintances who could not come along sailing summer
2014, I hope will now at least come to the party to hear the stories, see the pictures and talk to those who joined me.</span></span><br />

Started with the smallest folder containing just 60 pictures and per minute it uploads one picture. <br>
For at least 15 albums containing each about 200 pictures that adds up to more than 45 hours uploading time! <br>
Crazy! <br>
Will see if I change laptop if I can speed it up? </p>

Well I just got off the phone with Torsten and he told me to access he needs an email and a password. <br>
So Google is as restrictive as many other companies and demands you become a member fist, I guess! <br>
Shucks, very frustrated! <br>
It could have been so simple?! </p>
<p dir="ltr">I certainly welcome tips how to best deal with this situation, thanks! </p>

Still I have not found time to sort my pictures and videos. I had planned to organize a reunion meeting both in Solothurn and Mannheim to meet up and share memories in November. Now I think postponing this to February or March seems more reasonable. I want to have a movie put together and all pictures sorted according to weeks before such a meeting. <br />
Since I have gathered some fans during my journey the meeting should be open for these to join. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
In Solothurn I am looking into doing it at SolHeure and in Mannheim Speicher 7 would be my pick,same place as my farwell party. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Martin and I plan to come to Mannheim last weekend of November to visit. We will be staying with Christin, but certainly would like to meet up with as many as possible. </div>

My balcony reminds me of the boat especially when the sun is out and I can enjoy the sunset. Martin got me the Weber grill that stands next to me that we had on the boat. </p>
<p dir="ltr">So I miss the water and ending up in a beautiful natural harbour with nature surrounding me. But I do not miss the responsibility to check the weather forecast at least 2-3 times a day and having to worry, if the wind shifts over night and is the boat safe. A few times I set the alarm to check on the boat in the middle of the night, it was always all right, but could have been otherwise. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I miss the great company I always had on the boat, the camaraderie of cooking, doing dishes, going grocery shopping, playing games and sailing together. Here in Solothurn I am alone in my flat and it feels empty after months of company. What I do enjoy being back though is just going shopping, just tuning a DVD on to watch, having reception basically everywhere. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I do not miss the bathroom routine on the boat with pumping and plastic bags for the toilet paper. That is a relief being back and just being able to use the knob for flushing. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I do miss showering on deck with awsome views, swimming and having access to a sauna almost in every harbour. I think my average on going to the sauna was 3 times a week mostly with swimming, so that stopped now and feels like something is missing. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I start to miss Räksmörgås (shrimp sandwich) again, which I actually had had so much of that I started to avoid ordering it the last weeks. Usually that is one of the first dishes I try to order when I have crossed into Scandinavia. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I do miss the weekly routine with crew change on Saturday and washing my clothes and cleaning the boat. Here at home the flat seems so big and takes so much more time to tidy up. Also cleaning alone is very boring. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I do and also don't miss the simple dress code that I had on the boat. Just functional gear according to the weather forecast. I hardly ever looked in the mirror worrying how I looked. But functional clothes leave little room to express who you are and what mood you are in, so I like to have my wardrobe back. Only I notice now I have to check in the mirror if my hair sits right and if my earings match. So much more to think about! <br>

Especially even if things went wrong how blessed I was that so little happened.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Week 1 (1.06.-7.06) Guest: My mom</b><br>
My mum and I had an awesome week together cleaning the boat, getting it ready and sailing just a shorter stretches to familiarize ourselves with the vessel.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since one of the first nights we tied up at a SXK buoy while we had a lot of wind over night my mom hardly got any sleep and dreamt that an elk was crying out loud! Thursday that week the big accident happened, she slipped so badly trying to jump on shore that she broke her left elbow. Both the sea rescue boat and an ambulance helicopter came to her rescue. Luckily she has recovered since then and participated at my Kräftskiva (party last week on the boat). That blog post still holds the record high! <br></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Week 2 (7.06.-14.06) Guest: Dee</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">It was planned for Dee, my mom and myself that week, but now we were just 2. Even if it was cold the week started with really good weather, so we could get used to sailing and everything else.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At our first natural harbor Dee tried to step on shore and slipped, suddenly she was out of sight. I backed the boat and walked up to the front finding her legs in the water clinging frantically to the ladder to not make her new automatic life west go off. Quickly I got the dinghy to her and she was so determined not to get her west wet that in one swoop she was in the little boat and I could pull her to the back to get out and back on board. We were successful after that first challenge tying the boat up at another spot. During our second day sailing weather forecast predicted a big thunderstorm over Stockholm. We were heading south so we were safe, but saw it all day building up higher and higher. When we reached our very sheltered harbor Kyrkviken on Ornö suddenly even there we got some strong gusts while tied up at the pier. We learned later that it had hailed both in Stockholm and Uppsala massively with big storm gusts leading to power outs.Keeping a close watch on the weather forecast led us to having to seek up Nynäshamn on Thursday just after lunch to avoid similar thunderstorms with hail ourselves. Just after an hour of being tied up the hailstorm covered everything with a 5 cm thick layer of hail. We were so lucky to be safe.Both Friday and Saturday was really stormy but not a problem for us we were tied up safely in Nynshamns and even found a spa Havsbaded just 15 minutes walk from the harbor. </p>

<div dir="ltr">
I have become a big fan of Frauenzentrale Zürich with all their cool campaigns and fight for equal rights. So about a month ago when I learned they were giving a course on blogging I immediately applied. </div>

<div dir="ltr">
Today started far to early and tired after an afternoon and evening event yesterday with my new work and an overnight at Thanya. Anyway I managed to arrived at 9 o'clock for the course. <br />
We were 9 women attending and most had not started a blog yet. Our instructor had a beauty products testing blog and is texter as a profession, she was really good. I learned particularly much about how to make a blog post more appealing and what to avoid while writing. <br />
Very inspiring morning that ended with lunch with 2 of the other participants. <br />
Weather has also cleared up and now I enjoy riding back to Solothurn.</div>

Ihr seht das Kochbuch hat ganz viel mehr anzubieten, aber dies waren die Gerichte die wir entweder auf dem Boot gekocht haben oder die Erwähnung fanden als auch ausswärts viel gegessen wurde.<br />
<br />
Viel Spass beim kochen und backen!<br />

Just as my 3 marked heavy sailing bags arrived on the belt in Zürich I received a phone call from Martin telling him I arrived safely and cutting him short so I could get my bags. Through customs I thought they would pick me out with 3 bags, but I got through with just a nod from them. Relieved I walked out into the entrance hall and suddenly somebody yelled: "Zappo! "(one of many nicknames I have in our relationship) and then I was in Martin's arms, my sweetheart had come to surprise me and welcome me back! <br>
He stayed until Sunday late afternoon, so my first days back in Solothurn were really sweet and on top of that warm and full of sunshine. <br>
After a well needed haircut (just me) on Saturday we had dinner with Thanya and reminisced about sailing memories from summer in Åland. </p>
<p dir="ltr">First thing I cleaned in my flat was all that could fit into the washing machine and was textile, curtains, sheets, towels... <br>
Then the balcony needed a make over especially since Martin had given me exactly the same grill as I had had on the boat as a memory of the summer sailing as a birthday present. So some rearranging was needed to make space for it and then all my balcony plants were picked up at my neighbor, who had had them in her garden. <br>
We got some nice hours on the balcony in the sun that reminds me of the boat. <br>
After Martin left I have met friends and continued unpacking and arranging. Today I got all my letters and mail that I had sent to Swissbox, who digitally scanned my letters. Now all is opened, last bills payed and most post sorted away. <br>
For dinner I had Matjessill in memory of Swedish summer and midsummer. That is a meal that always brings me back to Sweden and I can enjoy as holiday. </p>

There I was to finally meet Jack again and his husband Christoph, that I have only had digital contact with. Jack is one of Lovisa's study buddies and on her 40th birthday 4 years ago I got to meet Jack and we hit it off and got along very well. But since then we haven't had the chance to meet again. Knowing that I would spend my last days in Sweden visiting my sister, we had agreed on Monday 1. September in April to meet all of us. Lovisa couldn't join but at least Jack, Christoph, who had not been at Lovisa's party then and I had dinner together. Time was to short and we definitely need to build the friendship and meet again. <br>
Looking forward to seeing them was a highlight that I had been looking forward to knowing that after my adventure that cool thing would happen. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Monday evening shortly before 22 hours I finally arrived in Kristanstad and my sister picked me up. Fredrik just having started school was awake again when we arrived, so I got to say goodnight. <br>
The next 2 days were filled with getting Manda and Fredrik up on time for school and my sister to work. In-between she had a few hours to spare that we could spend together. Neither Manda nor Fredrik like to be photographed so that is why this post doesn't contain their pictures. <br>
I had the honor to pick Fredrik up from school Thursday afternoon. Wonderful experience! <br>
When I had time to spare I enjoyed the small town and the creek called Helge å with it's nature reserve building Naturum. <br>
Staying a few more days with my family was a nice way to say goodbye to Sweden. </p>

So if you travel or live in Sweden the name Wallenberg is a constant. <br>
Below the Wiki that explains why!</p>

<p dir="ltr">The morning after the Kräftskiva (Krayfish party) started foggy when I was up at 7, but when all my guests finally were awake and we had breakfast outside the sun was out. Just a wonderful morning! <br>
We were Dirk, Antje, Olle, my mom and I enjoying the second last breakfast on the boat together.<br>
I get a bit sentimental about the last and second last events repeating myself a bit. <br>
For me these last moments of my creation were emotional. My intention with my adventure was to create a mix of friends and relatives as well as languages and that caused all these people to meet, because I and the boat are the crossroad of different paths. In a way this represents who I am influenced by so many cultures and languages, but still one person! <br>
I loved this last big breakfast that whether wise made me want to go sailing a bit again too!<br>
But the plan was to go and visit my aunt Marie in Uppsala and see the exhibition she organized at Gustavianum.<br>
 <a href="http://www.gustavianum.uu.se/utstallningar/">Gustavianum, Uppsala </a> <br>
Marie is the oldest of my mom's younger sisters. </p>
<p dir="ltr">After cleaning up after breakfast we packed up and all got a ride into town, Central Station, with Dirk and Antje. Very cool and handy! <br>
At the train station Olle went home and my mom and I wanted to buy tickets for the train to Uppsala and find out when the next one left. <br>
At the info counter we learned that instead of trains, because of construction of the tracks, we had to take a bus. That meant longer travel! <br>
We got great seats and just talked and talked until suddenly we arrived in Uppsala. Here my GPS guided us to Gustavianum,  which we probably could have found without technology, since it was right next to the Domkyrkan (cathedral) which was visible with it's high towers from across town. <br>
After peeking into the cathedral we headed to Gustavianum and took the elevator to the top floor, where Marie's exhibition was held. Wonderful location the anatomical theater as you can see on the pictures, a round room with steep stairs and standing room for viewing! <br>
We had not had lunch yet so after greeting Marie my mom and I first grabbed a bite to eat next door and returned strengthened to enjoy the exhibition in detail. <br>
Details it was what the big pictures on the wall was about mostly nerves, proteins and really small details in the cochlea with it's hairs and different skins and tubing. Things I basically know nothing about, but so artistically presented and beautiful compositions both in color or in arrangements. Especially with my knowledgeable aunt explaining what we saw and how the pictures had come about with which processes gave the exhibits another dimension to be viewed. Very fun! <br>
We wanted to take the bus back to Stockholm at 17 o'clock, so we decided there was enough time to have tea at Marie's place before that. There I finally met Allan her boyfriend that I had heard about. <br>
Seeing other exhibits from previous exhibitions my aunt has organized was fun, especially her feeling for color and composition is something I can relate to. I think dealing with color material surface and composition thereof is something my grandmother did very well and my mom as well as her siblings seem all to have that talent. I and my sisters all have it too it just comes natural to us. <br>
It was great to discuss those things with my aunt and mom, since we speak the same "language".<br>
After a cup of tea and another bulle we had to catch our bus back to Stockholm and from there bus back to Bullandö. <br>
We had leftovers from the party so after some krayfish I started packing and my mom cleaned up and went to bed. I continued until after 1 and saw a crystal clear sky full of stars when going to brush my teeth. <br>
Sunday at 10 I had agreed to return the boat. So after an early breakfast with great talking my mom and I finished cleaning and packing. Hans luckily was a bit late and Thomas who was coming to pick me up I could inform to come later too. <br>
Hans was very pleased with how I returned the boat and told me I can rent it anytime I want again! <br>
Now with Thomas help we were off to Stockholm first to let my mom off at the station then going visiting Anna and her boyfriend Alex. <br>
Anna is Thomas and Anna-Maria's daughter who just has finished her studies to become an engineer. <br>
So we celebrated her start into work life with cake, bulle, tea and coffee in their gorgeous flat in one of the best districts of Stockholm. How they got there is a fun family story on Alex side to long to tell here! <br>
Now Thomas took me to his house in Saltsjöbaden. It felt good to be there since it is a place I have been to repeatedly probably over the last 20 years. Very homely which was good for the first night without a boat. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Monday I got a ride with all my 3 big bags to the station and looked them up before my train left for Malmö at 13.21 o'clock. <br>
After a nice walk across Söder on the heights looking over Stockholm I grabbed a Knäckis at the "Nyströmming" stand at Slussen and then met up with my aunt Lotta. She is my mom's youngest sister married to Bjarne who helped sailing to Åland and Olles mother. <br>
We had a nice last hour before my train went. She helped getting all my bags to my track and waved me off. </p>

At the bus stop I jumped out I only needed to take 4 stops until the boat fair. <br>
 <a href="http://www.alltpasjon.nu/">Allt på sjön </a> <br>
Knowning that I had preloaded a daypass that should not be activated, I pressed the button of 2 coupons to pay for myself the short distance to the harbour. Minutes later I strolled between all the stands finding all the suppliers for boat stuff. So the first I asked were the Furlex roll Genoa supplier what to do about the last bit of unrolling that often got stuck on Sofia II. Apparently only a small block mounted just before the roll to lead the line towards the middle of the opening would solve the problem. Another improvement could be to shorten the line to just what is needed to roll the Genoa up. <br>
The next question I wanted answered was how to read out my downloaded track from the Raymarin GPS plotter without having a Raymarin device. It turns out that can be done with a PC program that costs around 30 Euro and can be downloaded. <br>
Then I saw a Spinlock stand and had a great chat with one of the reps. After that I was interested in binoculars, because those on the boat had been inferior and without a compass. Here I found a great deal with good magnification, waterproof, floating neck belt and lit up compass. Additionally the bright orange rubber coating was very much to my liking. So I treated myself to that as a farwell gift, but decided to pick it up just before I wanted to leave the fair. <br>
Now I was ready for the sailboats especially interesting were all sizes between 32-38 since Sofia II was 37 feet long. <br>
I liked the Bavaria 33, but the kitchen is not longside as was so practical on Sofia II also a Bavaria by the way. Also the chart table is crammed in the corner sitting backwards and surface is too small. Apart from that a very cool boat for a fair price! <br>
Almost all other dealers solutions I did not like, one exception was Linjett sailboats. I liked both the 34 as well as the 37.<br>
 <a href="http://www.linjett.se/">Linjett sailboats </a> <br>
Only fault I could find with them was their high price and their deep keel of almost 2m. I have to say with the layout as well as the design I was falling in love. I will take the reps up hopefully next year and test sail one or two of their boats at their shipyard in Rosättra west of Arholma. <br>
Definitely something to dream about!<br>
Finally I had gone through all the boats and went to have lunch and buy fresh bread for the party at the nearby bakery Delselius.<br>
 <a href="http://www.delselius.se/">Bakery Delselius </a> <br>
Then I wanted to head back to Bullandö to prepare for the party in the evening. <br>
On the bus I was shocked to learn that somehow in the morning I had activated my daypass anyway even if I had pressed the coupon button to avoid that. I felt betrayed by the stupid system that had hard rules that were hard to abide to and when I tried I failed anyway. Very unkind and non human behavior of the system. Now I could ride back on my daypass to Bullandö, but the next day when I wanted to use it to travel to Uppsala with my mom it would be invalid and force me to buy separate coupons since a daypass could only be purchased at the Pressbyrån and not on the bus itself. <br>
Felt whipped by the Stockholm public transportation!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Side note: My mom, Olle and I all got a ride into town the next day with Dirk and Antje the morning after the krayfish party, so we saved both hassle and coupons. I actually did not need the daypass after that anymore! </p>

Most my guests ended up arriving late, because there had been a major car accident blocking the only street out. So my mom coming with a bus before the accident and Thomas with Viveka coming with their motorboat ended up being the first. I was happy to have some guests earlier and actually start a bit late, since my preparations were running late. <br>
While we were waiting for the rest to arrive we sat outside having an Apéro. Shortly before 20 o'clock everybody had arrived and we moved inside. There we had a lot of fun, I especially enjoyed all the snaps songs that Thomas and Viveka knew, sang and let us sing. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I had been a bit nervous about the party, since in the past I have only done it with Swiss or German friends: Did I have enough wine or beer? What was common to serve with the krayfish? Turned out Västerbottenpaj! <br>
So I organized everything first all the alcohol needed on Tuesday after the museum visit, decorations on Wednesday and krayfish on Thursday, bread on Friday. </p>
<p dir="ltr">My mom traveled furthest to join, which was a great honor and rounded things up with her last visit ending so abruptly on an helicopter. <br>
Then Thomas and Viveka, who had wanted to sail to Åland with me, but it did not work out, finally came to stay for a while on the boat and partly! Camilla and Magnus came that had given us such a wonderful midsummer in June at their summer house. Olle one of my cousins almost 20 younger than me came. We had met in Bern half a year ago during his Erasmus exchange in Switzerland. Dirk and his wife Antje came, we were colleagues at Roche, but Dirk now works in Uppsala since 2 years. During our Roche time we both attended one of the department closing parties that had room for conversations. A colleague tipped him about my blog and since then he has been a true follower also on Facebook. <br>
I could not have fit more people around my table! <br>
Thanks everybody for coming, I loved all your company!<br>
Almost half my guests ended up sleeping over: my mom, Olle, Dirk and Antje! <br>
It felt good to have company on the boat again even over night. <br>
I don't remember at what time we went to bed, but the sky was so wonderfully clear again that the stars were glowing. Such a nice experience just before bedtime! </p>

<p dir="ltr">On Friday morning Hans came to Bullandö and we took the mainsail down so he could have it checked for damages done during last weeks accident. Then we took the boat to be lifted up to check if all my ground contact had left any damages. <br>
It was fascinating to see how the boat is lifted up and how we could walk underneath. <br>
Nothing was damaged! <br>
I could see the underside without having to dive into the cold water or hold my breath! <br>
I am so proud nothing was damaged! <br></p>

So my first stop after getting off at Slussen was Fotografiska Museet which again had stunning exhibits. After taking all that in I treated myself to another one of those delicious shrimp salads they have here. I noticed though that my joy over such a dish has decreased, because during my summer it has been regularly on my menu. It is like everything that is scarce you want more of but when you get it it becomes common! Sad actually, but logical. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I had called my uncle Johan to see if we could meet some of these days when I was between Bullandö and Stockholm. First we had discussed me visiting Thursday, but now I had a full day pass so I called to see if I could drop by. My solution was perfect, since both Wendsday and Thursday now he had glasfiber installed and needed to overlook their work. So we agreed me coming by at 17h. </p>
<p dir="ltr">After the museum I went shopping a bit and browsing for used childrens books. Also buying a SD card for my phone to store all pictures I have from my adventure. <br>
16.55 o'clock in a very Swiss way I arrived at my uncles house. I quickly learned that Liil had prepared to treat me to dinner with freshly picked mushrooms. First though I got a lengthy and very interesting update on family history dating back to 1800. In between there I learned that my grandfather (dad's dad also my uncle's dad ;-)) Carl was the youngest of 6 children and that 3 of his older sisters had had an academic degree, his oldest brother 14 older was a known pharmacist in Stockholm even writing books. Very fascinating, seems they all were strong independent personalities.He showed me photo with the whole family and my grandfather Carl just 3 years old on his mums lap. <br>
My uncle knowns so much that it is hard to pin down all the information he shares. <br>
After a while especially when Lill joined the conversation I could get more current information out of him. For example my godfather Nore also my uncle, my dad was second youngest of 4 boys. Johan is the youngest and my older uncles have already passed away. But Nore studied medicine in Munich and then Basel. Carl Fredrik the oldest studied in Sweden, but worked at the Inselspital Bern in the early 1970ies for 3 years. My grandparents when retired (dad's parents) spent their winters living in Avenue des Peupliers, 1009 Pully close to Lausanne. I remember visiting my grandma there after we had moved to Germany and she died there too, if I am not mistaken. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Strange to find so many ties to Switzerland in the past of my dad's family. </p>
<p dir="ltr">After an excellent dinner with cheese and fruits to finish it off I headed back to Bullandö. </p>

So I decided to go to Nämdö just 6 sm south with a sauna hut from Skärgårdstiftelsen ready to use by visitors. I had been there end of June with Linn for the first time and just loved the place. Heading out just me and the boat was no problem then setting sails just took a while and with Alfons (auto pilot) steering for a while I even managed butterfly in the light wind. Max I reached not sailing butterfly anymore but half wind was 4 knots. Just coming to the harbour another sailboat arrived too, I choose the south bay to anchor next to the sauna hut, but the other sailboat went north. For the current easterly wind the north bay was more sheltered, but during the night wind were to shift to north bio west so my place south was very good for those winds. After pulling the anchor up once to make sure it was not full of seaweed that would compromise it's hold, I was anchored exactly in the middle of the bay all alone. Rowing on shore I started the fire in the sauna, went and picked up water at the well for the sauna and then rowed back to the boat. At the boat I prepared potatoes and packed a grill bag and the grill and rowed back on shore. After the sauna was hot my grill was ready for my sausage slices (falukorv) also. So I altered sauna, grilling and eating, sauna again eating grilled bananas and one last sauna round. Always dipping myself in the clear but cold (15 degrees) water. Then I rowed back to the boat and had a warm shower on the bathing deck. The evening I spent inside with the heater on and in the middle of the night I woke when it started to drizzle. I checked on everything and saw wind had shifted as predicted. Back in my bed it started raining heavy. I had a hard time going back to sleep making lists in my head for the last days and my party on Friday as well as thinking of all the great things that have happened during the last 12 weeks. To get the list thing out of my mind, I got up and got paper and pen to write things down. <br>
Early morning I got up it was drizzling again rowed on shore and cleaned both the sauna as well as my grill before returning to the boat. After a coffee and a banana for breakfast I headed back to Bullandö in the rain. As soon as I left wind shelter waves build up and rain came sideways. Handling my GPS become difficult with all raindrops competing with my finger. I had to get the dish rag wiping the surface off repeatedly. With this technique all went well. I motored all the way back seeking lee, so going back ended up being 7 sm. <br>
Docking went well even if I was alone, preparing all fenders just had to be done in due time while Alfons steered. Since the forecast was rain all day I just stayed in my complete gear and took the bus to Gustavsberg. Here I first had lunch at a great Café at the harbour. Now my cultural rain program started with a visit to the porcelain museum and then the porcelain outlet store. Gustavsberg Porcelain is known for table sets, figurines and white goods especially toilets. In their exhibition there was a toilet with 2 separate nobbs for a big and small flush. The sign above the toilet said this had been a product that they had tried for the Danish market 1950 that had been refused. I find it amusing to see that that concept that the Gustavsberg designers tried to introduce failed, because they were 40-50 years before their time. Today 2 different flush sizes are common and accepted. <br>
I felt a bit soothed with fate, knowning how often ideas I have had or my fellow designers have been rejected. Hopefully we are just ahead of our time! <br>
After my return to the boat I made an omelet for dinner almost getting seasick while cooking, boat even in the harbour was rocking heavily due to the strong wind. </p>

We headed out north having picked out two possible natural harbours on Lökaö one on the north side one on the east side,  both should give good cover for southern winds that were predicted to change to easterly over night. <br>
After magnificent sailing into the passage between Möja and the other islands east of Möja we reached our first natural harbour. Just about 10 days earlier I had done the passage with my sisters in the opposite direction. <br>
We checked Tistronskären out it was beautiful as described in my harbour book, but all good spots for the current wind direction were taken. So we continued to our second spot on the east side of Lökaö. Here only one motor boat was docked so we had free reign to choose where to go. Since the wind was supposed to change over night we finally found our ideal spot for current and changing wind.<br>
Our maneuver went very well Anna-Maria was surprised that she could climb of onto the rock fairly easily. <br>
After the boat was fast we enjoyed an Apéro in the sun on deck. The motor boat left and we were alone. <br>
After dinner or was it before we went exploring the beautiful island. <br>
Returning to the boat we waited for the stars to show and all tucked up in either sleeping bag or blankets we could see 2 satellites passing and the milky way. Absolutely stunning view! I experimented with my camera trying with long exposure to catch a glimpse of the sky, but did not manage to get the right setting or focus. <br>
Monday wind had shifted to easterly as predicted and still almost clear blue sky. Anna-Maria needed to catch the bus at 12.46 in Bullandö to be on time for some meetings, so we set out shortly after 9 o'clock. <br>
We first motored through the very narrow passage between the islands Storö and Ramsmoraön. Also this I had done with my sisters in the opposite direction. When we reached Kanholmsfjärden we set sails and around 11.40 we started motoring to be on time for the bus. Shortly after 12 o'clock we were perfectly docked in Bullandö again, but with to little time to have a cappuccino, but on time for the bus. <br>
Anna-Maria packed her stuff and I gave her my nice red-white striped pillow that I had bought in Utö with Dee to make the boat more homey. I like to know that that pillow will be on Anna-Marias sofa, especially since last year she recommended to visit Utö, but we did not manage. <br>
After she had left I had my cappuccino and lunch at Bullandö Krog and decided to head out on my own that afternoon. </p>

Now the last week with the boat has started. </p>
<p dir="ltr">After receiving the harbour fee from the Germans on their sailboat "Bounty" I went to the harbour master at 9. This time a it was nice young lady to pay their fee and get the key to use the washing room with washer and dryer. It turned out that the fee we had looked up on the internet for boats over 7m was for boats wider than 7m so their fee was about 35% cheaper than expected. So I ended up with a lot of cash. Not knowing what to do now, I called the captain up since I had made sure to get his mobile before they left. After finding out what had happened, he said keep it! Let's say I got a great tip for being helpful and gave the harbour master 100 SEK as a tip too after that answer! <br>
That was a great unexpected start to my Saturday!</p>
<p dir="ltr">While my wash was beeing done Christin and I took the boat to the boat gas station. <br>
11 weeks ago with Dee I had given up on making my first gas station maneuver, because the wind was so strong and I choose the wrong side of the pier and drifted away almost into some boats. So after that close call,  I decided to abort and just head out. <br>
Now yesterday wind conditions were similar strong, but I knew exactly how to do my maneuver. Nice to notice how much I have learned during my12 weeks with the boat and how easy things are now compared to the beginning. <br>
After that we cleaned the boat as usual on Saturday and then after lunch headed to Stockholm with the bus. I wanted to get Christin a sea chart to draw our route in that was shaped like an 8 last week. I ended up with the sea chart and a cool west that was on sale. <br>
After Christin checked into her hotel I took her to Mästersamuelsgatan 4 were I lived until I was 8 years old and we moved to Germany.Then after a walk in the quarters we ended up having dinner at Frippe a restaurant next to the theater. <br>
I wanted to take the bus back to Bullandö at Slussen at 21.34h and meet up with my dear cousin Anna-Maria who would join me. So we strolled along the water and through the parliament as well as parts of the old town back to Slussen.<br>
There at Slussen I had to say farwell to Christin after a great week that has deepened our friendship, so sad, but I feel so fortunate to have friends like her! <br>
At the bus station to Bullandö my beloved cousin Anna-Maria waited to tag on for 2 nights and Sunday on the boat. She is 10 years older than me, but since all the years on my grandfathers island until I was 10 years old she also was there in the other house, she is the closest I have to a big sister. Even if we don't see each other that much, when we do we always have deep meaningful conversations. <br>
So we started catching up on the ride to Bullandö and continued into the night and still keep it going. <br>
Today we headed north east of Möja to a natural harbour going the opposite direction of about 10 days ago with my sisters and Anna. So lucky again with sun shining and rain clouds only building over the mainland. <br>
More tomorrow! </p>

Hardly any sail adjustment and maneuver was needed for the first hours. But when we arrived at Stavsnäs and needed to go through a narrow passage between islands wind once forced the boat to luff, that we took the mainsail down. When we were passed Djurö bridge we set it again enjoying a great run across Karlholmsfjärden. I wanted us to end up at the island Gällnö in the harbour book praised for its very authentic village for the night, but we took the scenic way there between islands doing additional 4 sm.<br>
Almost exhausted but very satisfied after a great day with 21 sm in easier conditions than the days before, we made a perfect docking towards rocks for the night. <br>
Dinner was easy just warming up previous nights leftovers and make a sallad. Then we enjoyed the sunset painting the village in gold and sleeping bags out we sat outside and saw the night sky surface with all stars. Magnificent and a new experience for me since June and July still had such short light nights.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The next morning we rowed over to the village to explore the bigger island and we even found blueberries again. <br>
For lunch I wanted us to visit another island near by: Grinda.<br>
 <a href="http://grinda.se/en">Grinda </a> <br>
What a lovely place this was reachable also with the ferry from Stockholm. Definitely want to return and test their sauna with a hatch to jump into the water within the sauna itself! <br>
We had a late lunch at the harbour restaurant and then learned for a cappuccino we needed to go to the Värdshus. Absolutely a gorgeous place apparently build by the first director of the Nobelprize organization. <br>
Not until 16 we managed to leave for our last bit back to Bullandö. Here while sailing the wind picked up to our lines howling again and got very gusty. For the passage that became more and more narrow we also needed to tack in short sequences, so Christin build her arm muscles up! <br>
After one nasty gust we took the mainsail down and had just the Genoa up. I saw a smaller sailboat under motor crawling up on us with a collision potential. In Sweden you never know if people know the rules on the water, since everyone is allowed to buy and sail without a license. So this boat proved me right on being skeptical. They squeezed themselves in front of my bow me struggling with gusts that got me from 4 to 6 knots quickly. I just couldn't believe they were doing it and steered into the wind when they were just in front of me! I yelled and called them names both in German as well as Swedish! What they did was dangerous and luckily I know what I was doing! <br>
I managed to calm down just by the time we arrived in Bullandö. After docking we immediately set out to the showers and sauna to warm up. <br>
Friday evening seemed to be popular for exactly that activit y especially for families. <br>
First we had a French lady with 3 girls in the sauna, then a Swedish family with 3 daughters that ended up questioning me and via me also Christin. Anna the youngest who will start school now was really keen on chatting with me. In the dressing room Christin and I ended up with just the 3 girls who had to monitor that Anna finally concentrated on getting dressed rather than chatting with me. Klara oldest we learned goes to an English school, so she started a conversation with Christin.<br>
I had to invite them to our boat to give them my blog details after this refreshing encounter!<br>
I did invite them to come and visit me in Switzerland, hope they understand I meant it! <br>
After this we went and had dinner at Bullandö Krog. <br>
I did not sleep well tonight, which is an exception, so I got up early writing this. <br>
While sitting here at the harbour I noticed Germans preparing their old wood sailboat Bounty apparently build 1931 in the US. <br>
They wanted to leave but still needed to pay their harbour fee for the last days, so I offered to do that for them since doesn't open until 9 and it was 7 in the morning. <br>
I have a lot of cash now in front of me... </p>

<p dir="ltr">We managed to temporarily repair the mainsail to go north to Malma Kvarn Svenska Kryssar Klubbens (SXK) klubb hamn where they also do their sailing school that Lovisa once attended. <br>
Planned was that my relatives Runnquist would help out and pick up the spare parts that I had organized at Benn's in Saltsjö-boo and bring them to us here at Malma Kvarn. But this fell through, so now I hope to get the parts latest on Saturday. <br>
Sailing here was a breeze after the strong wind and wave experience, because we now had less and wind from behind. Christin even said this is like holiday from sailing! <br>
Today we will have same course but stronger winds. <br>
At Malma Kvarn we just enjoyed the afternoon in the sun on deck having our big mushroom from Jungfruskär as a afternoon snack,  before I prepared our macaroni casserole. <br>
The night ended still on deck with candles lit wrapped up in our sleeping bags and a clear star filled sky above us. Christin managed to spot 2 falling stars, perhaps with some wishes attached? </p>
<p dir="ltr">Now we will head out after a very thorough defrosting and cleaning of our smelly refrigerator! <br></p>

<p dir="ltr">So winds for yesterday were predicted to be up to 13 m/s very much actually,  but we only needed to go half wind 10 sm to get to the next very sheltered harbour for the night when winds would pick up even more. <br>
So after breakfast, swimming and a stroll around the island, seeing an sea eagle fly over the shore, we got going just after noon. Christin did everything just right leaving our anchor place and getting the anchor band rolled up quickly. I noticed we were drifting quickly even without sails in the bay making me aware we definitely had more wind than the day before. <br>
After passing the narrow passage out safely from Jungfruskär I motored the first 20 minutes against the waves and we got our first spray wave showers. Then changing course west wards I let Christin roll out the Genoa,  but we healed so heavily that I let her roll it back in which was a long heavy project for Christin.<br>
We needed to go slightly north west to round an island to head on west across Jungfrufjärden. <br>
The first big wave hitting us slightly sideways made the boat keel as under sails. We were having some waves bigger than 2 meters. Noticing this I managed to steer so big waves pushed us from directly behind and with the motor on I almost got a surf feeling as sailing Fireball with spinnaker. On Jungfrufjärden going south of the lighthouse Fjärdhällen I wanted to set the main reefed to go better through the waves. So we rolled the main out while I held the boat in the wind. When Christin wanted to reduce by rolling it back in, that did not work. I knew one of us could walk up to the mast and try to do it manually there,  but we had waves by now over 2-3 meters high. I did not want to risk something happening to Christin nor did I want to risk something happening while I did it and Alfons was steering. <br>
So I decided I wanted to make use of my sea rescue membership calling for help. While I was on the phone the mainsail got loose at the end you pull it outwith, starting to fly like a flag. The rescue guy ordered me to go north and find wind shelter behind the Husaren islands north of the lighthouse. It took us about 45 minutes to get to the lee side and there the water was so calm that Christin suggested to go to the mast and manually winch the sail in. She did and it worked! Just when we were finished we spotted the rescue boat approaching. We could inform them that we were OK now and they instructed me how to best get to Smådalarö Gård guestharbour. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Just before Christin and I arrived at the harbour the mainsail rolled out again by itself, but Christin knew what to do and we were in a lee position of an island. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Now finally we got through the just 7m wide passage leading to Smådalarö Gård guestharbour and tied up at the pier in front of the hotel. Safely fast I inspected the damage and while doing so suddenly Helge our rescuer in his cut off jeans came to see how we were doing and find out my personalities for his report. He confirmed that sailing reefed under the conditions was completely doable and would have been more comfortable through the waves than motoring. <br>
I thanked him, because without his instructions finding lee behind the islands Husaren, I probably would not have come up with that solution, beeing to focused to get where I was heading. <br>
After he left, Christin and I went up to the hotel payed our harbour fee, reserved for dinner and had a coffee and tea in their nice lounge. <br>
Felt good to just let the hair down for a while after the adventure on the water. <br>
During the night it was stormy and raining, but here in the harbour we are perfectly safe. <br>
I am now finishing this after enjoying a great breakfast buffet at the hotel and am completely stuffed. <br>
We head north today with still strong south westerly winds, let's see how far we go after I try to repair the mainsail problem. <br></p>

She did not get hurt or wet either! <br>
Well how did all this happen just after 3 days together? <br>
Christin joined me in Bullandö just before Anna and my sisters had to leave Saturday, we managed all to have lunch together though. <br>
Then as usual the first task was to get an overview of our food supply and what needed to be purchased. This was easily managed since the small supermarket at Bullandö Marina carried everything we needed, just Müsli was out. <br>
To spare us cooking we decided to have dinner at the Bullandö Krog which was great again! <br>
Sunday started with all security instructions and before we left another cappuccino. <br>
We sailed out of Bullandö after lunch when everybody else was returning home from sailing during the weekend. It was sunny but with strong winds fairly cold. Christin learned fast how to tack and handle all different winches, we even needed to reef when we were south of Sandhamn. Bullerö was our goal, but when we got there the good spots were occupied by 2 motor boats. So we checked another spot out that was to windy and then I decided to go to the neighbor island Melskär where I had been last year with Martin. There we had one neighbor anchor towards some rocks that really were in lee. We svoj anchored first, but the wind was so gusty that I rather wanted to be tied up. I went and checked the second best lee place out with the dinghy and took the rock pegs along. After returning to the boat we hoisted the anchor again and were prepared to tie up against rocks. Well, just when we were free our neighbors told us they were leaving and we could have their spot. So we tried and just before Christin could reach land scraped a rock with our keel, we were to far left from the spot our neighbors had been. <br>
I was discouraged so we tried my (second best) spot twice without success drifting to much just before Christin could climb of. Very frustrating and hard work always getting the back anchor up every time, I was sweaty by now! <br>
Four times was the charm when we for the second time tried our neighbors that had left spot this time further to the right and did not scrape a rock anymore. Finally we were successful and had an awesome spot totally in lee with almost mirror water around us. <br>
Now Christin cooked Königsberger Klopse after her grandmother that is from there, what a great honor and delicious dish I was treated to.<br>
<br>
The weather forecast was rain all night long which we had, but for breakfast the sky showed sun again. <br>
We took our time without yoga though and had a long walk around the island Melskär for 2,5 hours and ate the leftovers for lunch. One dramatic moment was me going ahead back to the boat with Christin just 100m behind me even seeing her across the small bay when I reached the boat and then she didn't come. I had warmed up the leftovers and she still had not joined me. I got my walk shoes back on and started calling her. Suddenly she appeared almost at the same spot I had seen her last and it turned out she had had troubles finding across the bay back to the boat. <br>
Back at the boat she really needed the leftovers to settle down. <br>
Now we finally got out on the water again heading south having to tack to not hit stones or islands quite often. We soon were a great team, just Alfons had trouble steering with so many gusts and such strong wind above 10 m/s. 3 hours later we were in Jungfruskär a place I had been at with Linn. We caught our fish here that we were to slow to haul in. This time I wanted to svoj anchor (not sure there is an English word for the German "swojen" and if how it is spelled: svoj or swoj?), because last time with Linn we had to readjust just before bedtime because wind shifted, such a drag. <br>
So we got a nice spot threw the anchor in and had a coffee and cookies as a reward. Over an hour later just when I started to write this blog I noticed we were closer to land, we had slipped! This time we were not still slipping as in Åland with Katja and Lukas, but still we needed to get the motor on, anchor up and reassess the situation. <br>
As the anchor came to the surface it was completely full of seaweed as in Åland. Because we still expected steady winds with rainshower over night I felt svoj anchoring again was to risky. We sought out two spots marked in the harbour book that looked good windwise and after checking close up decided for the one. This time our maneuver was a success at first try, we just needed 30 minutes with spring and landlines and anchor line adjustment to be safe. <br>
Now we sit inside and it has started to rain heavily after having a great fish soup dinner that Christin prepared. <br>
Temperatures have dropped, but beeing here sailing is still absolutely amazing! </p>
