Brexit Gloom in Sunny Sweden

Today has been a day of stark contrasts. Thunder and lightening in the early hours heralded an early morning rush to the wifi to discover the referendum result.
We left Karlskrona in sunshine at the same


time as the Coast Guard ship which had been protecting us overnight,but it left before the potential 'Brexit Backlash' from our fellow 'Euro Sailors'
The journey back to the sea took us through very narrow channels flanked by jagged rocks,until we eventually arrived to the sea and a new future with all its hazards but sadly without any support from our 'Euro Sailor' colleagues.


My friend Laurence said that we were very lucky to survive this ordeal without a coffee.
After a mixed bag of wind we arrived at Bergkvara to be welcomed by a German sailor congratulating us on our achievement and relishing the opportunity to join us in an uncertain journey into the 'Euro Future'


After a walk to admire the local shopping mall we are enjoying an evening meal aboard Calismarde


awaiting the fireworks and celebrations being held tonight throughout Sweden but particularly in Bergkvara.
This is not to celebrate Brexit but because it is midsummer here;so everyone gets drunk.
Tomorrow it's a short sail to Kalmar.
