Kalmar

No wind. And some showers. So we sat around waiting for the rain to pass and maybe some wind to appear.

Alas, the rain passed, but the wind didn’t come and we had to motor for FOUR long hours before we got the sails up. Twenty miles of motoring and thirty of sailing later we were entering a town that was historically important for Sweden, Denmark and Norway. And actually the whole Baltic Sea area. In both war and peace.

In the evening we took a quick walk in the city centre, stopping off for some ice cream and espresso at Ben & Jerry’s. The next day was set for some heavy historical and cultural experience with the castle visit coming up.
