Places beyond, Erik Johansson in Fotografiska - 19 January 2020

I discovered Erik Johansson in 2011 when he presented an installation in Kulturhuset showing a sinkhole in Sergeltorg, in front of Kulturhuset. Until 1 March 2020, Fotografiska organises a large exhibition of Erik Johansson work. Very refreshing, attracting a large crowd, and generating large smiles on the visitor faces. Such as the "Fishy island" realised in 2009, which is really talking to a Baltic sailor!

How far have we gone in exploring the Baltic? 19 January 2020

After 12 years sailing in the Baltic, the first seven with La MaLouine, un brise de mer 31, and then an OVNI 445 for the past five years, as we are considering moving to the Adriatic sea in the coming year(s), I used the long dull and dark evening of the Swedish winter for entering in Google earth all the routes that we have followed along the 7,OOO nautical miles that we have been sailing in the Baltic with Belisama, since 2015.



And this is how it looks like in the Baltic. The map above includes the intended routes for 2020, which will see us sailing through Latvia and Estonia...
