ÅF Offshore Race

Between 200 and 250 sailboats are eagerly waiting to get underway from the harbour at Skeppsholmen. The ÅF Offshore Race starts on Sunday (i.e. today) between 11:00 and 14:00 and sails around Gotland. Most people expect 2-3 days at sea.

Before the race starts, there are several days of programme in Stockholm, with a smaller race around Fjäderholmarna, try sailing, food and drink, music performances and so on. And of course you can walk around and look at all the nice sailing boats!

Meeting with friends and visit to the Hjerta restaurant

You may remember Peter and Eva, whom we met during the Las Fallas festival in Valencia in Spain during our trip around Europe. Since then, Peter has also had the opportunity to be Guest of the week with us, as a person who has visited every (!) country in the world. Peter and Eva live in Valencia most of the time so we don't see each other often, but all the more fun when we do!

After checking out the sailboats and hanging out at the music stages, we decided to grab a bite to eat at Restaurant Hjerta on Skeppsholmen. Peter and I decided on an oblong little "ship's pizza" with grilled cheese and courgettes. We did not dare to try the pizza with sour herring, potatoes, onions and crème fraiche, so to speak ...

I sneaked Peter on his Vespa without him seeing it, just because his Vespa is soooo cool.
