Finally Sailing!


Mathias and blogmaster finally got to sail on Sunday. Water level was up a little from last week, even if we did get some mud on our keels when launching our boats.
Wind picked up and stood pretty strong by the time we finished our practice.
Mathias and SWE319 showed much improved speed in breezier conditions due to 14kg added to his keel.

Vi behöver träffas i hamnen och klippa gräs, städa mm. Hör av er till blogmaster när ni kan tänka er ha tid.

Still not enough water


I went down to the marina today, just to realize there is still no way we can launch our boats until the water comes back. The low pressure moving in will hopefully help bring water levels up. Heavy winds today in excess of 10m/s or about 20 knots. It is still breezy at 11:00PM.

Sweden beat defending European Soccer Champions Greece today in the first game for both teams with 2-0. To help celebrate this I post a Swedish flag!

No water

Just add water is what they usually say in the commercials...
Right now we are experiencing 40cm or nearly 16 inches below normal water levels in the Baltic. Mathias and blogmaster installed the electric telfer on our crane today, but we have very small hopes that we will be able to launch our boats any time soon. Very sad news looking at absolutely perfect weather conditions. Clear blue sky and 28 deg C or 82 degrees F. Since we are not allowed to dig in the mud due to environmental reasons, our only option is to wait for the water to come back.

SWE 393 is sailing on Sunday


Johan is almost finished with SWE 393 "Doris" and will be sailing on Sunday!
SWE 429 and SWE 319 are also planning to sail. Hopefully Conny with SWE 279 will also attend. Lennart SWE 177 is still working on his house and will not sail.
