First boat to sail into the harbor last evening! We made Stromstad after a 6 hour sail. Marc took the helm and maneuvered our boat to take full advantage so when the winds shifted to the southwest, we made fast time to port. Once all the boats were berthed we were invited to cocktails on the 12 meter, Thea,a beautiful Norweigan 12 meter built in 1918. The weather was mild and sunny so were all able to sit on top and enjoy great food and company!
Afterwards, our boat split off and we invited our captain, Neils's son, Jacob, to join us for dinner at a restaurant by the pier. We enjoyed caesar salads, fish & chips and shrimp open-faced sandwiches (local delicacy.) We ended the evening teaching Jacob how to play the card game, "99." Though he caught on fast, Helen prevailed! We turned in around midnight.
Woke by 7:30 and made our way to the showers. Once showered, we shared cereal for breakfast and instant coffee. Tomorrow we hope to buy good coffee to brew! After the skipper's meeting, we suited up for our next leg. Should be windy & cold so we have a day of card games ahead!
