The year in retrospect

December was busy and I never did get round to writing one of those 'this is the year that was' letters to go out with my Christmas cards so this is a quick retrospective on 2006... And because it's quicker and easier you will find lot of it in pictures. But if a picture is worth a thousand words you're getting quite a lot for your money.

Summer means sailing, amongst other things. This year our maintrip was southward - past Nynäshamn to Trosa skärgården and back around the fringe of the archipelago. The weather was kind - a bit blowy in places but nothing too untoward. And the sunsets.. you have to see them :-)

Which reminds me... the photos!




After the sailing holiday... came a sailing holiday - with a difference. Sailsalsa! Five days of sailing, swimming, canoing & four nights with nothing to do but have fun & salsa! (Spot the fancy dress party..) Just me, and forty of the nicest people you'll ever want to meet. I sailed to Vindalsö in Mata Hari (with Andrea who'd never sailed before) turning it into a full weeks holiday. Nice.. but I so tired when I got home...




Autumn & the boat is out the water - which just leaves salsa to keep me busy. Halloween is not at all swedish, but it gets celebrated anyway - why miss a party? Fancy dress... again.
