A Memorable Trip on the Water

Heading out on the water can be a relaxing and refreshing experience, and our latest outing was no exception. We were fortunate enough to borrow a boat from an acquaintance, which had everything we needed on board. With digital nautical charts in hand, we quickly found a cove that seemed perfect for our little adventure.

With the diesel engine rumbling beneath us, we cruised along at a comfortable pace of five knots. When we reached the cove, we quickly found an ideal spot to set up camp. The evening was magical. We built a fire, talked, laughed, listened to music, and enjoyed a delicious meal under the starry sky.

An attempt at an evening swim turned into a fun memory. AC thought the water was far too cold, but after much persuasion and some squealing, she jumped in—though only for a second or two. The night was perfect. The wind had died down, and the water was perfectly still, giving us an incredibly good night's sleep. We truly enjoyed being out together.

The next morning, we took it easy with coffee, some games, and sunbathing. We didn’t want to rush off. When we finally set course back to the home port, we were met with calm seas. We slowly glided through Lake Mälaren, savoring every moment on the water.

It turned out to be two incredible days together, and it was our first time on a boat together. This experience will stay with us for a long time, and we’re already looking forward to our next adventure on the water.
