Positive vibes in Karlskrona is

An early start saw me sitting outside the marine engineer's workshop at 7 am as the fish were being offloaded from trawlers by men in yellow oilskins. I half expected Wallender to enhance this classic Swedish scene.
In fact things became more cheery as the mechanic agreed to look at the engine this lunchtime!....having previously said he couldn't come before next week.
After some prodding, poking and repressurising the engine came to life and seems to be a bit better....only time will tell.
The crews had a jolly time on the island of Aspo... (Not Asbo.) and went for a bike ride, drank coffee, swam and visited a museum of warfare which was the highlight for some


Here is a picture of a man showing the crew what a radio looks like and how to use it


- Tonight we had another jolly meal of Swedish meatballs and listened to some music


Tomorrow, hopefully we set sail again
