It has, however, been lovely to get a sail in. And to visit a new place and to see a bit of Sweden and Denmark before we head south. We're going to be heading back to Canada in a couple of weeks for the summer and will be back here in September at which time we will have to sail rapidly south to get out of the storms in October!
