Stockholm vistas from a ship

Ship

To reach the vessel in Kalmar we drove to Turku and then took a ferry to Stockholm. I do not mind to be carried by a larger ship, I do not mind not having control of the ship but I do mind the control engines that are used when the vessel is getting detached or attached to a pier - that noise that shakes and rattles the ship makes me nervous. I am used to listen any discrepancies in the voice domain of a naval vehicle and I continue that responsibility even as a passenger. Otherwise this beautiful new ship travels smoothly and quietly like a swan in the lovely archipelago between Turku and Stockholm.

To get into nautical feel the crew recommends to pick a hotel where you can channel your internal naval officer in 17th century naval barrack building, http://www.hotelskeppsholmen.com/. Lovely surroundings and great place for feeding crew, superb breakfast.

The lion worked on Stockholm, I worked on my lair on land. For the whole long weekend. 

As the crew was in Stockholm I had to manage the lair on land myself. No worries, there was excellent temp crew helping me! Thanks for the weekend, looking forward working with you again :-)

Stockholm, oh, Stockholm

The crew likes Stockholm a lot, it seems to cause strong positive emotions in them. I do not yet understand why. I need to analyze this - it is always good to know this kind of motivational factors when being a chief of a vessel and managing a crew.

This picture is taken from the ship terminal. In this vessel I was a passanger only and enjoyed all the way from  Stockholm to Turku, without responsibilities.
