2009-06-27 in Lerwick

The high pressure over the Norwegian Sea is more or less stationary and we wake up to a warm and sunny morning. After showers at the Lerwick Boating Club we can enjoy a breakfast in the cockpit in shorts and t-shirts. As the day goes on the heat builds up and the Shetlanders say they haven’t experienced such weather for ages. I take my t-shirt off and Kajsa is laying on the foredeck in bikini only working on her tan. Later we take a walk in town and explore the Shetland museum and the fort. The town is full of activities the weekend through and together with fantastic weather it creates a carnival like atmosphere. Thousands of people in all ages are enjoying themselves on the pier with food, live music and other activities all day. In the evening Kajsa takes off join the crowd but we are instead taking refuge in the relative quietness of the Lerwick Boating Club which is hosting a barbecue and a live band is playing in the club house. The sunset view from the balcony of the club house is not bad. Kajsa later joins us at the club and we return to the boat just before midnight.

  1. Hej. trevligt att höra att allt gått bra.
    Lerviken är fint. Härlig atmosfär. Jag trodde att man var tvungen att boka plats i hamnen innan man kom fram? Men det kanske inte är så längre?
    Blir det lite rundturer runt de olika öarna nu då?
