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.

Hello Härnösand!

Härnösand a.k.a mini-Stockholm

Härnösand was our last stop before set of more intensive legs to Öregrund to start our tour in Stockholm archipelago. It was a lovely city, city that we had not known about. In addition me getting really good nap while the crew was in walking around the city there was some practical, less poetic business to take care: laundry, groceries and such. The crew managed well.

I will return to Höga Kusten in my posts during the fall. Coming up next: sailing to the south from Öregrund!

Don't wake me up, I know we are arriving! (I slept all the way in
the crew bed, usually I travel in the front cabin floor.)

Early in the morning we woke up with a voice of very heavy rain and something we did not recognize.
For our surprise the water was overflowing, so heavily was it raining.
