Thursday, 28 February 2019

waiting for the spring to comes it's like a penalty, it really tests your patient and courage. well, the spring just around the corner, we really look forward this spring. the list is long.

Being patient and courageous ain't easy, it needs training, practice and believes in your heart that you can get through it. This year its fourth season for us, and every year we did different ways.
After several years living permanently onboard on 43 Nauticat sailing boat, it's teaching us many skills. This year we filling and wrapping the boat with fibre isolation, it's very practical and basic to get better heat condition and climates inside the boat. it's made a huge difference this season. It ain't fancy but its effective.

#Ta mig till havet

Bergön,Oxelösund

Season four “ Ta mig till havet” continue this year; we decided to sail down south. The year is very unusual summer; the tropical summer hit Sweden like never before, for us who live permanently in the boat are just nice, we don’t want to complaint it. eventhought some night we having hard time to sleep. We will miss this weather when the winter comes.

Like usual same route to Södertalje and stayed a night at familiar nature island with anchor on! We sailed to a summer place called Trosa, we heard many good comments about it. A soon as we arrived it’s packed with both leisure and sailing boat, we just lucky to have a spot to docked. After two nights we continue down south, this time we going to pay a visit Cap’N co-work who have summerhouse by the water just outside Oxelösund. Sailed through this part of archipelago just beautiful. We have to admitted this year seems like a lot of boats, tourist and every end of the shore there is always group of people bathing and picnicking—blame to the tropical summer;)

We arrived at an island called Bergön it’s just nice a place that you just want to live and spent the rest of your life. Jacob and Lisa with their 3 children, Moa 8, Greta 3, and Tage just 8 month, I would say very friendly, down the earth and easy people, the strange things is the kids just make a easy connect, they just made a friend in an hour, it’s seemed like the known each for a long time. We docked the boat just by the shore and that evening we just take easy with dinner, and talked. The weather is just another word---AMAZING!

Day 2 at bergön, our plan to leaving and continue sailing but as usual we changed out mind, the weather is just great and the kids is having fun. That day nothing else we did just jumped to the sea and swimming all day long and ate whenever we feel to. Peder and I have the chance to clean the bottom of the boat well—he did most of it;).

Day 3, it’s hard to say good-bye, but we’ll see again, journey down to south must continue

The Boat

Meet “Windcat” This pearl is a 1989 Nauticat ’43, and builded in Finland. Its motorsailers with 90 HP diesel engines and it’s sailed 7-8 knot. The interior inside is very functional with three cabin made for 7-8 person bedding, two restroom, kitchen and our favourite place is the center of the boat “Pilothouse”

We knew very little about this boats lifeline.

The first owner was a German and based in coastline somewhere in Germany, then second is an Irish based somewhere near coastline.

The Third owner is a Swedish and based in Landkrona south coast of Sweden. We founded this treasure on sale in Internet early 2015. We drove to Lanskrona and just to take a bigger picture. When we first stepped on this pearl, we knew.. That it…this is its!

We knew that we found the boat that we want. And in May 2015 it’s became ours. We adopted this boat to “Sophia Af Nothern Light” This boat comes with a lesson and we learning ever since.
