30/31 October - Yet another last sailing weekend for the season

Well,  we could not resist for another weekend at sea for this season. Temperatures are now getting one digit above zero and days are getting short, with the sun setting few minutes before 16:00. Yet, still very much sunny and enjoyable as long as you arrive in time and switch on the heater for the long evening.

28 October - Belisama moves to Pampas Lake City

We took a day off today to move Belisama from the private dock where we left her on Sunday to one  of the available slot in the Pampas Lake City. Quite interesting to moor a sailing boat between two floating houses. Weather was fantastic, but the nights are really getting shorter these days in Stockholm.

23/25 October - Last sailing for 2015

This was the last sailing weekend of the year. Temperatures are now close to zero in the morning, and it is time to get Belisama serviced for the winter and parked in Pampas Marina. She had been already three weeks in Södertälje, quite covered by Duck droppings.

For this last cruise, we decided to spend the night in Drottningholm, the castle of the Queen, a few miles away from downtown Stockholm.
