The second part of the vacation started off great. A few days earlier, David, Petter, and I had sailed the boat down to Västervik, and now it was time for David and me to head north again with the girls.

This weekend turned out to be an unforgettable one that I won’t soon forget! David and Emine came up from Kalmar, and we decided to sail south to explore the archipelago around Norsten. It’s a beautiful stretch of islands with relatively low terrain, offering little wind shelter, but the conditions were absolutely perfect. Sunshine, a gentle breeze, and warm (well, somewhat warm) waters!
