Back in the water !
Villvind is once more back in the water,- by the end of Mars. After an extended refit including a new teak deck,
some new equipment installed and other minor improvements the boat is
better than new. At our latitudes, launching in Mars is combined with a rather high
level of uncertainty. However, all I needed was
two days of favourable weather. One for
painting the bottom, the other for
launching and rigging. In a period dominated
by cold, snow and fog I was granted just those two days. What a luck ! With the help from the
professionals of Orust ( Sweden) the work went smoothly and I can spend the
Easter, sailing slowly north to our homeport . The Swedish westcoast in early
spring, ( even if the conditions can be more like they are in late winter ), is a very enjoying experience. Very few boats around, only a few retired old salts like myself enjoying the ”lull before the storm”.
It is like having a big, newly baked and
Have a nice Easter !
