all very well, but when the wind swings and heads him, it will be a bit of a sod trying to tack up there!

 

[Refueler]

Of course there's some of us that do it as routine !

On the approach - lead boat signals - Line astern !

Halfway along and cows are just letting world slip by ...

Exit to another marvelous location ....

Little weekend trip upriver ...

Keenly watching Echo-sounder as it bounced from 0.8m ... to 2.5m ... and all over ... dodging islets and banks ...

Stockholm Archipelago .... it's a passage between two islands to get to this spot ....

But the real cracker of a spot we moored up in ...

It is a fantastic cruising ground ... I've sailed in various areas ... UK, Med etc. - but it took my breath away ...
