Same video - now with music!
Stuart let me use his music here. (Check out more of his work here: http://www.youtube.com/user/KeltwegianKiwi ) What is next? A Coin Collection theme song?
And I also have to say that we experimented with some new sheeting this day, so there is some funny creases at the aft end of the sail.

Breaking the law
Some people and some countries take flags a bit too serious. Not Finland, at least not Åland. We didn’t actually plan to sail there this summer but since the winds were blowing south we did anyway. But we didn’t bring a guest flag. We didn’t even have a Swedish nationality flag.
And as we came closer […]

Görans Video
Found a CD in my mailbox from Göran today. (Thanks!) So I made one more video. Enjoy! (Wish I were able to add some music to it, but that is probably totally illegal.)
I have been using JayCut to edit and publish the video instead of Youtube. Works great.
Edit: as of today, Tuesday, august 5, Jaycut […]

New video: Sailing from the inside
It’s not that tidy. But here is a small video from the interior of Linnea. While sailing. As you can see, the final finish of the inside is not there yet. But it works fine for some weeks of summer sailing. The reefed sail is badly set. We will try to do something about it.

Gone sailing
It was a bit nervous. The first sail of the year is bound to be bad. I remember one special year with an old boat of ours. Disaster. Rosehip soup all over the brand new main sheet. That stain does not go away! So the first sail, you want the wind to be perfect, everything […]

Fenix in the Summer Isles
A picture of Fenix, a junk rigged boat we met in the Summer Isles, west of Ullapool some years ago with our old boat. We were heading north up around the Orkney islands and Ben was coming south from the Faroes. Funny thing is that he lent out a cruising guide for Orkney to my […]
