Greetings from Sweden, coastal skipper looking to tackle the oceans.

Hello!

I have been sailing and boating for as long as I can remember and now it is time to take it to the next level - to cast off and see the world.

The great adventure awaits!

Re: Greetings from Sweden, coastal skipper looking to tackle the oceans.

Hello Chris!

I live quite close to Stockholm, about a 1h drive east, near a town called Norrtälje.
Give me a holler when you are about to head up here, maybe I can take you for a sailing trip in the archipelago, or at least meet up for a beer :-)

Re: Greetings from Sweden, coastal skipper looking to tackle the oceans.

Welcome to CF, Raubaton! Your cruising area is one of my favorite places to sail. This year we got as far North as Töre.


You will find CF a wealth of knowledge and experience. Good to have you aboard.

Thank you!

There is, to say the least, a lot to learn here, and a lot of friendly people.
