Belisama getting painted

On Friday 5 June, I visited the Alubat workshop to finalise the options that will be fitted on Belisama. The hull has now been assembled and the prime layer of paint on the deck and under the hull. We are still aiming at a water launching by last week of July.

Gotska Sandön - 58°24.254'N 19°13.400'E

Gotska Sandön is located between Fårö and Huvudskär. No shelter on this sandy island, therefore one should check carefully the weather forecast. I have experienced there the strongest storm in my life, unannounced...


Ringsön - 58°44.382'N 17°26.041'E


Ringsön is a very beautiful natural harbour on the way from Landsort, Öja, to Oxelösund. One can always find there a place protected from the winds.

Nynäshamn is a little town with a huge marina very well connected with Stockholm through the Pendeltåg.

Svenska Högarna is one of the wildest set of islands at the east edge of the Stockholm Archipelago. A visit to the lighthouse is a must.
