Sunny Stockholm

Last week was a bit of a whirlwind what with a trip to Paris studying environmentally friendly vehicles, and then heading to Sweden to train on the BT F18 catamaran with Greg Homann for three days ahead of the Archipelago Raid which starts on Friday 13th June.
On arrival in the evening in Stockholm, the weather was fantastic and that great weather carried us through the next three days beautifully. We had great winds, clear blue skies and one of the most beautiful places in the world to sail. It was great to get into the groove of sailing in the Archipelago, and getting used to the navigation and environment over there. We had some gusty moments and close calls, but never capsized, though both of us managed to fall off!
The boat was fantastic, and we were really pleased with her speed and performance. We based ourselves on the island of Sandhamn and sailed from there each day.
I am looking forward to the Archipelago Raid, though I know that we’re going to be exhausted by the end of it… Nearly there…
