Land ahoy! Back on solid ground again…

After several weeks out on the sea, we are now back, back to work and ordinary day to day life. As I go through my photos I find that I have so much I want to share with you. I will show you a lot of lovely places and some ‘FOOD ON BOARD’ tips and ideas. I will have to start with a great day in June and that is the day of the Volvo Ocean Race, IPR at Kanholmsfjärden. Kanholmsfjärden is a large open bay in the middle section of the archipelago of Stockholm. 59.20.33N – 18.47.24E

Puma -About the Team

Here is a team that should be able to cope with adversity, play a percentage game when discretion calls and pounce when opportunity presents itself. A high profile, well-drilled team that boasts experience and knowhow. Barring major damage, PUMA should be contesting every podium

Vid 22.40 på måndagskvällen gick PUMA i mål i Sandhamn som vinnare av den nionde etappen i Volvo Ocean Race.



Telefonica Blue -About the Team

Bouwe Bekking, Sports and Technical Director and commander of the Blue boat, needs little motivation. Having been skipper of movistar in the last race, the sinking of which has focused the mind this time. Telefonica expects some close racing. Some of the closest could be in-house


13th of August Telefonica Twins returns home to Alicante.


The winner of the whole Race was Ericsson 4 with Skipper Torben Grael a big congratulation for an outstanding achievement.

21th of June, the big day at 'Kanan'. Thousands of spectators gathered to see the IPR, I wonder how many boats there were? I guess at least several hundreds and they came in all sizes and styles from very small wooden rustic sailing boats (see below) up to huge 'Stealth' boats. Most fascinating to watch them all.


Our skipper of the day Hubbe enjoying every moment of the In-Port Race, he has been following these guys on the net since the start in Alicante November 2008.

This is some of our dear friends in 'Svart Renault' Göran and Eva with their family and friends.

and here we have Nica with a guest Beckie from New Zeeland.

Tyra on the deck

After this very intense day and this happened to be the day after the day before The Midsummer Day I was exhausted consequently on our journey home to port I had a long nice nap on the deck.
