Tuesday, 23 July
For those of you wondering how we measure our distance sailed, we are clocking our nautical miles through the water – this is often more than the distance as the bird flies because we have to tack (not even La Bamba can sail straight into the wind) and we sometimes have to sail against or with a current that can add or detract from the total.

Sweden Limericks! 🇸🇪
I have a tradition of writing sailing / stopover limericks that get entered into the ship’s log

La Bamba was gleaming
We all started beaming
We cast off and soon sailed away

We set out on a flat sea with no wind. After yesterday’s blow it was like a different country.
