Angry birds in Själevik - 10 June 2017

Having started our seasonal migration last week, from Nynäshamn to Oskarshamn, this week we had to come from Stockholm on Friday night, after a fantatiskt diner at friend's place, by car. A four hour drive, plus the resting stop on the way. We made it by 2:00 this morning, just in time for a good night.

Shopping for fresh stuff, plus shopping for gaz and other non perishable stuff for the month of June. Leaving by 14:30 for Själevik, for the night, on our way to Kalmar this weekend.

À la carte for the 2017 season - 9 June 2017

Certainly, our favorite dish on thE belisama carte is the blanquette de veau. Following our 24 hours night sailing last weekend to get to Öland, we decided that we deserve a blanquette. This one had been prepared on 17 May. You can find the recipe on the post of 16 May. It took 5 minutes to reheat and a bit more to get the rice cooked. It tested fabulous! 

Ahead of our friends joining for the summer sailing, we decided to extend the range of dishes on Belisama carte. On Thursday, we ran a full course of osso bucco, having enough for three meals for four people over the coming weeks... 

And the spring finally came - 5 June 2017

A small fishing pier on Norra Udde, at the north tip of Öland. Spring has finally arrived, but will be quickly gone. For the time being, full of flowers around here.

Midnight sailing - 2 June 2017

Swedish national day on Tuesday 6. Therefore, a 4 day weekend ahead, with the objective to get Belisama around Kalmar to anticipate on the July trip around the southern coast of the Baltic. Departure 20:30 from Nynäshamn with south winds, due to turn southwest during the night.

This picture was taken at midnight, looking north, where the sun is at this time, but not quite far below the horizon. No need for navigation lights!
