In Skagen, we wake up under - believe it or not - a blanket of cluds.

Swedish Sailor's Church [in Skagen]




We used to come here when I was little, to check on the weather forecast, news, and, above all, to get my hands on an ice cream.




Yes, there is a church too.




All hands on deck for a quick briefing, breakfast, and off we go.

These guys come back in with mackerel up to the rim - their second trip out today!
Listen to them coming:    




Sun breaks through the clouds, and the winds pick up - looking good!




We set sail; all hands on deck!




Olof and Erik have fun timing their jumps with the big waves rocking the ship




Out there, we find the famous Russian full-rigged ship "Mir" [Russian for "peace]
