Boating time! For the next 24 hours...
Lena and Martin (front) have brought Anna and Lusse, and Christine and myself along for the 24-hour sails race around the Stockholm archipelago.
While cooking, eating, and generally having a good time...
...the objective is to visit as many "checkpoints" as possible in 24 hours, while also making it back home in time.
The orange participation flag was commonly seen around the Stockholm waterways this weekend.
Spinaker is fun, and Christine is an expert.
The weather was stunning, except that we have almost no wind at all.
So little wind, in fact, I could fly the spinaker lying on my back.
Martin, Lena
that's one evil looking trimaran

After a late evening shift, Anna and I sleep for a while - to rise and shine early next morning.
there's lots of pollen in the water this time of year
not the toughest of races
old ship setting sails
lazy days
Ok, after 71 naitical miles, Christine takes down the flag. We're done!
Another hot, sunny day has dawned.
