Sailing

Midday heat on the lake. No wind though so no sailing.
Idyllic morning It's too hot
V and V midday
Vivi bowing to my feet. Don't ask.

Becalmed


V and V in our inflatable dinghy

Vivi fishing. (Note the rolled genua, a new addition this year)
Nice evening in the bay where we were anchored.
Sailing in early August on Lake Ekoln

We had a great time on the boat this Summer just before Freddy and Jenny arrived and here are some photos. The weather was really hot and for 2 days we were becalmed, so we just enjoyed the heat, swam a lot and read. In fact it was so hot (> + 30 C) we had to put up a beach parasol in the back of the boat. The water was nice and warm, + 24 C. We stayed out for 4 days in total and had some good sailing the last day when the wind picked up. When F and J were here we did a lot more sailing, sometimes in very windy weather, which was great. We'll post those photos when we get them from F.
