Farewell Party and Time to Weigh Anchor – three Possibilities to Say Farewell

Posted On Tuesday, 30 June 2009 at at 12:52 by First Mate


Very soon it is time to weigh anchor, therefore we invite all of you to celebrate the farewell. Saturday the 11th of July we will have a little farewell mingle in Höganäs Harbor starting at 7 pm. Feel free to drop by at any time after 7 pm! We will serve a little welcome drink and some snacks. Bring your own alcoholic drinks and come celebrate with us!

The next day, Sunday the 12th of July is the real farewell day. At 1 pm we plan to weigh anchor, so be there little earlier in order to get a farewell hug (or kiss for those who wish..)

After leaving Höganäs we are heading for our second home, Gothenburg, where we will arrive sometime during the beginning of week 29. We will stay for two nights in the middle of the city at Lilla Bommen Guest Harbor. Lilla Bommen is situated in the city centre between the opera house and the hotel and restaurant Barken Viking, just a few minutes walk to the main street Kungsportsavenyn. So all of our dear Gothenburg friends who are in town, you are more than welcome to stop by Lilla Bommen!

Welcome!

Cantare on the Radio every Friday at 9 am

Posted On Friday, 26 June 2009 at at 20:55 by First Mate

While working on the boat in the harbor today, Johan Pettersson from Radio P4 Kristianstad, the guy who visited us for breakfast and made a radio interview a couple of weeks ago, called and said that they want us to be part of the morning programme once a week. Every Friday around 9 am Radio P4 will call us (our satellite phone) and talk to us live on the show. This is great, every Friday you will get a live update of the life onboard Cantare. So don't forget to turn on the radio and listen to us every Friday, starting the 3rd of July! Have a nice weekend!

Dinghy leaks

Posted On Wednesday, 24 June 2009 at at 21:51 by The Captain

Today Sofia has helped me all day long. We started with leak searching. I stroke soap on the dinghy and Sofia tried to spot the bubbles. There were way to many bubbles on the wrong places where it's hard to repair the leaks. So now we have to decide whether to patch it up and see how long it works or buy a new better dinghy. Anyone who wants to support us with 7000 SEK? Or maybe has a new handy dinghy to give us?

The Rig

Posted On Tuesday, 23 June 2009 at at 22:04 by The Captain


At the moment we are working on the rig. New cables, new navigation lights, a tri-colour in the top, a SeaMe antenna and a new VHF antenna. I have also attached orange florescent tape at the top. The tape makes it easier for other yachts to spot Cantare whilst at sea. It also makes it so much easier to find her in a crowded harbour. Great in the evenings if you forget where you moored.
