Exactly one month after being lifted back into the water another project got completed yesterday late afternoon – new upholstery.

It has been done by the same company, which did it 22 years ago when Hullu Poro was born – Torsten Pettersson Båt & Heminredning AB. They do all new Hallberg-Rassys since many decades. Actually, not only the same company but the same team. Mattias is running the show nowadays but founder & father Torsten had to step in and help out as the critical sewing staff was on medical leave. All respect and thanks to the 8X year old man adding 60 years of dedicated experience in workmanship to our beauty.

Job well done to the highest quality standards. Perfect in look & feel!

I am trying to get back into my routine, which shall include biking. It’s still fresh air but a parcel to Germany had to get despatched from Onsala, the closest DHL Service Point. A good motivation to get into the saddle. Obviously the sun helps and Gottskär was on my list anyway, a marina Susan and myself visited on our maiden voyage in 2003 while bringing our first Hallberg-Rassy home from Ellös.

Getting Starlink Dishy on 12V power supply is the next project.

Lerkil North

It was time to explore Lerkil a bit as I have not seen anything except the marina since we are in Sweden.

My walk took me through the surroundings accompanied by some excellent sunshine, which was putting the skerries into the well known framework well known for Sweden. 

I believe we deserve some decent weather now. It might be a good time to get the bike 🚴‍♂️ out?!?

…back in Lerkil…

After a very peaceful and quite night it was time for me to move back to Lerkil to get the upholstery job completed by end of the week.

The scenery is changing quickly once you get the first 6nm along the Göta älv behind you, back in the skerries. I did wait a bit in the morning to catch the outgoing tide, which gave me an extra knot for the first hour.

It then became another nice sail.

It is early in the year up North but now some signs of spring are around. Days are getting longer.

Stormy Day

The devil turned up as predicted but has lost its teeth by now. Some of the gusts close to 50kn were extremely aggressive. Plenty of mooring lines kept the lady in reasonable control being tempted to Rock ‘n’ Roll now and then. Glad I came here, good shelter and no swell.

Mystic silence will soon turn into painful dBAs for about 18 hours. All lines of defence deployed!

Lilla Bommen Marina

It was an interesting 20nm passage today from rural Lerkil into the city center of Gothenburg, where Lilla Bommen Marina is conveniently located. It was good practicing sailing through the skerries, while there is very little traffic at this time of the season.

My motivation for the move was driven by the gale which kicks in tomorrow morning 4am. 50kn of wind is not all fun. I will be up, that’s a given.
