It’s 6 in the evening and still no news from Kurt the harbourmaster in Österby. We see him in the distance, talking to some harbour guests. Then we make up our minds. We’ll leave tonight for Vasterø, so that we can take the Ferry to Fredrikshafen and Gothenburg tomorrow. The end of our journey is near!
We continue packing and see the harbourmaster approaching. He’s very sad to tell us that there is no-one in this harbour that will help us out. While Rick explains to the harbourmaster that it’s no problem that there is no guidance-ship, and that we are paddling for Vasterö tonight, Christa has an interesting conversation with Frederik, an Islandic harbour guest with a very nice sailingboat. He would like to take us to Gothenburg tomorrow! What a nice surprise! All excited we try to sleep. Sweden, here we come! And even in a sustainable way!
