Back to Elida again, and here cometh a lot of photos.

Shopping takes a lot of energy

Daniel, my friend from Västerås, came by this weekend

Bob, from State Michigan

Rickard, from Mjölby

But why do we leave the safe harbour of Fiskebäck to venture onto a icy cold journey in the archipelago? The answer is spelled s-h-i-p-y-a-r-d. Elida IV is being sold to YWAM in Britain and will continue as the “Next Wave”. Therefore, we take up the ship on dock to scrape rust and paint the hull.

Girl power! Matilda and Rachel worked the hardest of them all

Robert asks the girls if they realize that they have 250 tonnes of ship above them

And for the title: I and Robert together bought fifteen pairs of socks for 100 Swedish crowns on the boat expo. Cheap, and they are good, too. We paid 50 crowns each and then split the socks, so we got 7,5 pairs each.

It’s funny. Laugh.
