Allthough the Swedish westcoast is favourite due to a sea full of life still with active fishingcommunities,Mercedes also enjoys the beauty of the eastcoast archipelago with thousands of islands and rocks full of forrest. I grew up with this and now get the opportunity to see well known places with another perspective.

To me Norway is still one of Europes most appealing cruisinggrounds for it`s brutal and pristine wilderness, but Sweden also have many hundreds of nm long stretches of archipelago beautiful for cruising. It certainly gives an extra dimension to see all this again but with someone elses eyes.
