Today my friend Laurence and I sailed the 30 miles to Hano.
This is a tiny island just off the Swedish coast. There are 60 residents and a small bar where we are watching Sweden playing football along with the crew of Bonita and about half of the local population. Laurence and I were pleased that we could use the spinnaker today which meant that we arrived earlier than expected.
We all enjoyed a walk around the island and visited the graves of some sailors from HMS Victory who died in 1812 when Hano was the home of the British Baltic fleet
Tonight we enjoyed a barbecue and a swim in the Baltic which is surprisingly warm and not very salty
We are all beginning to feel now that we are in the vicinity of the archipelago. Unfortunately however there is no wifi so we can't upload any photos until tomorrow.
