Härnosand bridges


We planned to stay in Härnösand for the second night but as we had sailed daily certain restlessness could be felt among my crew. Next stop was to be Lustholm, a local club harbor, that is very well located close to the city. The crew was a bit nervous about the opening bridges, on our way to the South couple of years ago the first mate was quite horrified about the narrowness of the Northern bridge opening. However, this time we asked instructions from an other visiting boat and it appeared that Bagheera from Umeå had "done the bridges" for many times. This comforted our crew and after good instructions the captain decided to follow Bagheera and well it went! Though it was super narrow; the  captain concentrated on the boat totally and the first mate tried to compensate her excitement with taking many many pics. Thank you Bagheera!

Härnösand's grande look!


Bagheera leads...


Almost too exciting...

How close can it go...

Elegant north marina.
Off to Lustholm.

Status update - The vessel is back to my home town


We arrived at our home city couple of weeks ago. It was almost nostalgic as our vessel has not been in Oulu since September 2012. On our way to Oulu we spent a weekend in Marjaniemi, and greeted the good old lighthouse, the closest classic lighthouse to us. You know, the first mate likes the old lighthouses, the mystery unsolved so far...
