Seventh Wave now enters winter mode

After nearly slipping on a frosty pontoon and increasing numbers of gales
sweeping across us time has come for Seventh Wave to be

tucked up for winter. Sailing in Sweden has been fantastic and as far as I
know all the crews really enjoyed sailing amongst the islands of the

Swedish west coast. Travel across has been very good, really easy especially
being based in the middle of Goteborg right by the bus and rail stations.

We are now at Ellos (with a gale blowing full blast!) where Seventh Wave is
to be lifted out of the water (yellow crane in picture below will lift her)
and taken by road to a shed. Then the big job starts getting the old decks
removed and new ones fitted. If the price isn't too high we may also get her
hull re painted which with the new decks will make her look stunning!
