Visit to Stockholm

So, after a hectic Summer I've been working three weeks. It is a whole different pace at work and it feels good to be back! I was supposed to leave Volvo today, but luck had it that Ulrika, who I took over from when she went on maternity leave, is once again pregnant. I was not able to stay full time for the Autumn, so I will work half time until New Year and then go back to full time again when Ulrika goes back on maternity leave. It feels really good to have some time for fixing with my house, get back into shape and go on a few evening courses. As much as I loved travelling I must admit that it is quite nice to be back in the house and work on it. I have fixed a lot inside and will take care of the garden the coming month. I'm also once again involved in sailing competitions in Långedrag for GKSS, which will keep me busy for some weekends during September and October.
This weekend I'm planning to come to Stockholm and hope to see most of my friends! It was awhile since I was up there so it's going to be good to meet everyone!
Take care til next time!

Volvo Ocean Race HQ

Cowes week is over and the Fastnet has started. Have had a great week in Cowes. We had lovely weather during the weekend and I've spent a lot of time on the water on Saturday. Jessica came over with a friend on Sunday for the start of Fastnet and we had a very nice day watching the starts (They start every 20 minutes between 12-14.20) and having lunch at the pub in Gurnard. (Had the Mushroom stroganoff again as I had when I was there with Rudi a year and half ago! Very good!) I went back to Southampton with Jessica in the evening and we had a lovely meal with Lou in the garden where Jessica lives. I went in to the Volvo Ocean Race office this morning with Jessica and it's very good to meet everyone again! After lunch I will make my way to Heathrow and the flight back tonight to start work tomorrow morning for my last three weeks with Volvo.

From Lysekil Womens Match to Cowes Week

After a week with a lot of work, a lot of good matchracing and a great seeing all in Lysekil again, I went straight to Cowes for a week of vacation. I'm staying with Annika and Rick from the race and have been out on the water with Rick for a couple of hours a day. A very nice change from the hectic week in Lysekil! Today there were pretty much no wind, so not a lot of action. On Monday I go back to Sweden and work with Volvo for another three weeks.
