We have arrived at Laggan Lock and this spot is so breathtakingly beautiful that we decided to spend the night here instead of sailing on. Tomorrow we will reach Fort Williams and the western end of the canal. From there it is out into the North Atlantic and Scotlands rock coastline and archipelagos. We’ll visit…

Se sailed through another lock, through a swing bridge and then there was Inverness marina and thank god.  Both vinni and I were tired as hell.  Vinni hoisted me up the mast so I could make some repairs and then we collapsed into bed and both of us slept the sleep of the dead for…

Early rolled around and we had breakfast, got dressed, finished making ready for sea and Vinni took the boat out into a fabulous morning of sunshine and guess what? Winds from the east (perfect, perfect, perfect) at about 12-15 knots (perfect, perfect, perfect). Off we went towards the west and shortly there was only open…

We had a perfect sail towards Aalborg – beautiful weather, but little wind Yes the fellow still had the wind vane and yes he still wanted to sell it. It was a different model that ours and would need some modification, so I gave him a deposit and the next morning I walked down to…

Hi all Your local sailing story pusher is back and writing furiously to get the website up to date. Where to begin? Let’s go back a bit and remind you that Vinni stopped working February 4 and we went to Spain for a golfing holiday (seems like a million years ago).  When we got back,…

Our local television station did a number of interviews with us and they have been kind enough to text them with english subtitles.   so here you go:    

The countdown has begun. Our sailing date is set for May 29 at exactly noon. Funny this is a Sunday and we have to be out of our house (we have sold it) on midnight May 31 so gee – isn’t that a coincidence? Vinni had her last day at work on February 4 and…

It’s been a while since I updated this website.  Why? Mainly because we haven’t been sailing since it has been winter here in Denmark.  We derigged Capri at the beginning of November and she has been lying at the dock looking a little forlorn ever since. The other reason is that I’ve been busy installing…
