Öster Mälaren

They use to say, "times will fly through your fingers 

Five years have passed, We ended our living onboard inside the 43 feet sailing boat and moving to an apartment near the marina.  

This new chapter will make out life a little bit easier and back to the comfort zone where we used to be.  These will not stop to continue the sailing's adventures.

         

Longing .....

Beach's passage

Beach passage in Bryxelkrok

one way trip: Bryxelkrok-Long Erik-Böda-Bryxelkrok

Cycling day--20km

Öland has its personalities, our fist time trip to öland. Flat island with special nature, some stones and sandy beaches. we did cycling to the top of the island with a famous lighthouse called Long Erik. It takes us 30 minutes from Bryxelkrok harbour from we docking the boat. 

Not only to Long Erik, but our goal is also to cycling to the side of long Erik with another popular destination in Öland, Böda beach....yeap it's a long ride but it's fun.

As we cycling along the road full with wildflowers and I not seen so man butterflies since I moved to Sweden as in Öland. 

From another island to the Öland

Has been a bless weather we have so far, there are some rain and windy. I call it a balance, nature needs the balance sometimes. This year we made a stop at Jacob's family once more, the second year in the row.  perhaps would be a tradition.
I love our trip sailing to Öland, we had a smooth sailing to that island and quite challenging docking, as we arrived in the windy afternoon. Nature and the atmosphere in Öland pretty and calm.

..Nothing comes easy....

well, I got to be honest, living in the boat it's not cheap like everyone else thinks, especially the boat that built-in 1989. there are few important things to need to upgrade in this boat, this year we did change the gas tank to stainless steel and the captain installed itself. It's has been challenging to fitting in the tank for our self.

Feel great and safe after we set up the tank al least one of them. now we only one left to change. A second big thing we invested in the genua from www.elvstromsail.com It's gorgeousgenua and indeed service-minded sailmaker. Now it's the fifth summer, we sailing together with a partner in crime with her five years old daughter from Denmark.
