 Krapperup Slot, slot means castle.

 The best Apple juice ever!!! From Höganäs.
The Grand Hotel, Mölle, Sweden.

We ended the day by shopping as every store in Denmark was closed that Thursday for Easter. The parking lots were filled with Danish cars everywhere we went.

Spring project - International Folkebåd Facelift - Day 3

We only got a little scraping done on Monday after work. I like the combination of colors here. Our project has been delayed the past few days because of the cold and rainy weather.

Spring project - International Folkebåd Facelift - Day 2

 Angry Swan hissing at me.
 Kayakers (Sweden is in the far background)

 Progress

The scraping continued on Sunday. The weather was extremely beautiful, the leaves are budding, the air was warm, and people came out of hiding to stroll around the harbor with an ice cream.

Spring project - International Folkebåd Facelift - Day 1


This is our first day working on the boat to get it summer ready. It's been up on land during the icy winter. Saturday we took off the cover and stated scraping off layers of paint on the hull all the way back to the original color from the 1970's. We are giving the boat a little makeover this year. The boat was designed in 1967, it's a classic Scandinavian sailboat, folkebåd (peoples boat), kind of like volkswagen beetle of boats. Well this is only day one of many. The boat goes into the water at the end of April, then it's officially summer sailing season for us.
