After a long, grueling winter with endless of hours repairing the boat, the moment had finally come for the first sail of the year. A heatwave had settled over southern Sweden, and David, Petter, and I stocked the boat with plenty of good food before setting course for the archipelago.

A couple of weeks after we had sailed our new boat home to Stockholm, David and I decided to take a trip up to the northern archipelago of Stockholm. It was late August; the summer warmth had faded and it was noticeably cooler when we set off, but we were still excited to do some sailing in new waters.
