Still no good weather forecasts, therefore we are basically stuck in Falmouth; however, we haven’t got that much to complain about. Of course we are hoping and prying for good weather everyday so we can take off to sunny Spain and Portugal. Meanwhile, we are trying to make the most of our stay here in Falmouth. There are lots of things to do; our days are fully booked with everything from fishing, killing and gutting the fish and then making a tasteful makril dinner out of it, playing with the Danish children on the beach to looking fabulous at parties with UK Custom Service and waking up at noon…

Today is a rainy foggy day here in Falmouth, a perfect day for visiting The National Maritime Museum Cornwall, situated here in the harbor. We are heading there now and then it is time to consider opening the day’s first bottle of Cornish beer. /First Mate

We have changed the oil in the engine. Baked cookies and shared them with our neighbours. We have disengaged the autopilot, which didn't work and was causing trouble for our windvane. We have tried Fish 'n' Chips and we have had a few beers at the Norwegian boats. We are ready to leave! But the weather forecast predicts SW winds, again. We don't want to go out with the wind against us and with wave height of 5 meters. Therefore we are still in Falmouth and will probably be for a few more days, waiting and waiting for a weather window. / The Captain

We are still moored in Port Pendennis, don't know for sure when we are able to leave for the Bay of Biscay. Now we are on our way to the Danish boat for dinner and later on tonight we gonna meet with the Norwegians and check different weather forecasts and plan our departure, we really hope we can leave on Saturday. On the other hand it is really nice staying here too, we are making lots of new friends and what really makes it worth staying is the outstanding harbor master of Port Pendennis!

Sailing is about enjoying life and that is exactly what we are doing at the moment! We are in Falmouth and probably staying there for the whole week. Tomorrow the hurricane Bill will hit the Bay of Biscay, wouldn’t be that nice bumping into Bill at sea so we are gladly staying here in the beautiful port Pendennis. In our opinion, Port Pendennis is the best marina in Falmouth, especially due to the lovely harbor master and his crew: outstanding service!

Yesterday felt like Sunday even though it was Monday, we didn’t accomplish that much so to speak, however we managed to do our laundry. We were rather lazy yesterday. Sunday night it was a great party in the other marina at Tom’s and Susanne’s place, a Bavaria 42 called Escape, or now we call it the party boat. The party went on all night and resulted in a little warning from the harbor master the next day who tried to threaten with his useful contacts with the police and if he would get more complains he would definitely call the police. (Just a elucidation, I am now talking about the harbor master in the other marina not our friendly harbor master.) Anyway, Norwegians sure know how to party!

Today we are hosting a little coffee party, the Danish family is invited. We have promised something home made, we are thinking about making an apple pie and then serve a little Swedish surprise very suitable for the children: "negerbollar". By the way, we need to do some more baking before hitting the Biscay, so we wont risk running out of biscuits and other sweets to eat when it’s ruff sailing. If you have any good tips of tasty easy made cookies, feel free to drop the recipes here in the comments! Mummy, I was thinking about your "kokoskakor", can you email me the recipe? Now we are off to the supermarket to get some ingredients. Have a nice day! /First Mate

I know there are lots of you faithful readers who are longing for something in Swedish to read about us. And as they say, everything comes to those who wait! I have written a little wrap up of our first month at the insurance company Europeiska’s blog. Click here to read it. Now it is time to find the showers in Falmouth, it’s almost been a week since last proper shower… First Mate
