From Rangsta to Stockholm - 13-14 June 2015

Saturday 13 June, mid-afternoon, departing from Rangsta to Södertälje, with nice back wind.

Encounters in Les Sables d'Olonne

The Sables d'Olonne will be the port of registration of Belisama. Visiting this weekend the Alubat workshop to monitor progress on the building of Belisama, I had a chance to wander around the harbour to meet a few known boats...

Along the quai de Franqueville, in the fishing harbour.

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.

Belisama off boilermaking - 26 May 2015

Weekend in Öja - 23 & 24 May 2015

This is the first sailing of the season on La Malouine, from Rangsta Brygga to Öja, for a nice 15 miles in this sunny Saturday afternoon, under spinnaker.
