Meeting Aurora B at my Cabin's patio

I like aurora borealis photography because it happens in the dark and outdoors. I helped the captain with this photo session at my cabin patio. The night few weeks ago was really amazing as the geomagnetic activity was very high resulting these great sights!

The Summer is now over

Now I can state that this sailing season is closed. The vessel hibernates in Båtskärnäs and the huge pile of boat equipment on the hall floor of my lair on land is slowly but surely disappearing to its winter storage as the crew cleans and repairs it, under my careful supervision of course.

Sunday afternoon walk with a view, surprise ceps and handsome observers

Activity under the spruces

I have been occupied last weekends at my cabins by the activity under this spruce tree. I do several visits outdoors daily, both day light and darkness, and every time I check out this. Of course the crew has less developed senses and they cannot detect what I can. Once the first mate saw a little round, furry and very fast object escaping from the tree as we arrived.

To the Winter Harbor - Part 5 - Supermoon

There must be something to this place. On our arrival day we were treated with double rainbow followed by September super moon. The lunar eclipse that followed all this in the night we did not know about until the harbor manager told us next morning. Apparently, the nautical practicalities had taken our attention from the celestial activities.

Our way to Winter Harbor - Part 3 -To Båtskärnäs

Early morning start just after sunrise.

Charming fisherman farm in Kemi archipelago.

Traditional fishing equipment.

More lovely island houses.

Tornio harbor.

Seskarö island bridge in the distance. Our vessel has few meters too much
hight to use the route under the bridge.

Nice going around Seskarö.

Approaching Kalix' Båtskärnäs.
