This has been the perfect layover. Sarah home safely until 5 July. Seb and Pipps arrived as scheduled. Suzanne entertained us royally: visits to palaces, parliament, cathedral - and that gaz merchant! She also brought us a traditional Swedish meal which we thoroughly enjoyed in a sun-bathed cockpit, together with her son Michael and his wife Camilla and their 4 month daughter. In between it all the skipper even got some maintenance done.

We have all been super impressed by Sweden and the many, many people we have met during Aquila's three weeks in this lovely country. Everyone we met invariably went out of their way to be polite and helpful - never a hint of the equivalent of a Gallic shrug with its associated 'pfff'. Wonderful.
