A bridge further - 3 October 2016

After a night along the way, we enter Stockholm and its bridges opening once every hour. Still many boats with masts over 14 metres in this sunny Sunday afternoon. On the menu, the three bridges of Liljeholmsbron, Skansbron and Dansvikbron and a lock. By now, you have understood that "born" means bridge in Swedish.

Liljeholmsbron

Arholma - Landsort, old edition, 4 October 2016

A good friend of mine offered me recently the book Arholma - Landsort, in its version from 1971. This is the book all archipelago sailors have onboard as it gives the tips and tricks to get in all natural harbors of the archipelago. This was a good reminder of what was sailing before the GPS era...

By curiosity, I looked at the current representation in the various electronic charts...

Mariefred - Stockholm, 30 September - 2 Octobre

Back to Mariefred after a working week in Stockholm and a memorable storm over Sweden (See Cybèle posting). The west coast was devastated with trees down and train traffic interrupted. Belisama did not suffer in Mariefred though I could see some tearing on the mooring lines.
