Dinner and instructions

Yesterday Dee had invited me to dinner and then the task was to give her the necessary instructions tobe my  crew the second June week. The packing list I had updated over Easter was a good tool. We had a glance on the sea chart and paged through the harbor book for the area as well as my last years sailing adventure book.

It was a good preparation meeting making my countdown more and more real. 

Sea rescue membership-Sjöräddnings Sällskapet

Tonight I finnally applied and payed to become a member of the Swedish sea rescue called "Sjöräddnings Sällskapet".

The boat "Drottning Silvia" saved me and Martin last year with captain Micke Wulff on my birthday, I still have his buisiness card.

Now as a next step, I am looking into buying a really good automatic life west with life line. Spinlock is one of the top brands and very comfortable to wear.

And how many of you have already seen this one about the German Coast Guard?

Can not believe this coincidence

In one of my last mails to Hans the boat owner I finally wanted to know the name of the boat. Also finding out how big the beds are to take along correct size of sheets was a request.
Here part of his answer in Swedish:
"
Hej Sofia,

Strålande väder i påsk! Båten sjösätts i övermorgon.

Kryssarklubben är en trevlig klubb och deras bojar är bra. Jag är inte medlem, men nyttja gärna ditt medlemsskap. Båten heter S/Y Sofia II. Passande namn, eller hur:)

Kojmått

-Förpik är madrassbredden 200 cm

-Akterkojerna är båda 1,45 cm

Tre underlakan räcker till alla sängarna. Längden är normal sänglängd 2 m.

..."

What are the odds that the boats name is?
S/Y Sofia II

That just leaves me citing a Swedish book title:
"Slumpen är ingen tillfällighet! "
