Coelacanth

Waiting for fair winds to sail westwards and thinking about patience.

Leaving Scandinavia: a last stop in Ystad, then thirty hours solo to Kiel ahead of the thunderstorms.

Turning back from Finland, we sail across the Åland Sea, through the Stockholm archipelago, the Blåkusten, and Sweden's south coast.

Leaving Stockholm's archipelago for the open water crossing to the Åland islands and Finland.

From the beauty of Stockholm's southern skärgård via the historic Baggensstäket route to the bustling city.

After another gale passed, we sailed from Kalmar into the skärgård of the Blå kusten.

We leave the Danish archipelago and cross the Hanö bight in lively conditions to arrive at the marvelous island of Utklippan.

From Flensburg to the Danish island on Møn, where geology and painting met.

The start of a longer voyage from the North Sea to the Baltic through the Kiel canal.

I built a radio receiver for weather forecasts and navigational warnings via Navtex, RTTY, and WEFAX.
