Only 48 hours to go

In two days time I'll be heading to Heathrow Terminal 5 for another long weekend in Sweden. We've chosed this weekend primarily because of the Volvo Ocean race events taking place in and around Stockholm.
There is a large bay about 30 minutes sail from Bullandö Marina called Kanholms Fjärden. We had a pleasant day sail there last month.

I've not decided if we're going to attempt to find a good place to watch the racing as I suspect that every boat will be out trying to do the same and having only sailed there once, my local knowledge might be a little lacking.


There's also a race village in central Stockholm, so another option may be to motor sail into the city and let our guests (who are new to sailing and Sweden) have a wander around the city. I'm a firm believer that it aught to be illegal to go to Stockholm without seeing the Vasa. Not sure what the punishement would be, but everyone should see it.
