  • New boat – a Wasa 530

    We’ve finally bought a new boat!! We started glancing the market for a new boat almost immediately after we returned back home to Sweden in August 2021 and now 2 and half years later we have bought this boat, a Wasa 530. It has been standing for 10+ years and is in need of some renovations. We will probably talk more about or boat buying process in an upcoming video on YouTube. More information and fact about our new boat can be found on this page: About/The Boat – Anne-Mon II. On our YouTube channel we will post updates about all the renovations and upgrades we’ll do. We have already…

  • Bad weather, fishing gear and insurance progress

    During the last weeks we haven’t had very good weather here in Stockholm, very cold and rainy so we haven’t been able to make as much progress as we would have liked with the paint job. But, during the rainy days we have been able to get started with all other final jobs we want to do before departure, such as starting with autopilot installation, replacing our old manual windlass with an electrical one and finishing our electrical panel, so at least we haven’t been out of work 😉 Whenever there has been a weather window we have been adding putty and sanded on the topsides until it felt pretty…

  • A short update

    It was a couple of days since we updated anything here and the reason for that is that we have just been busy both with our regular jobs and preparing Anne-Mon. We try to do shorter updates on Instagram, so follow us there if you want to see more. But in short we are still working a lot with the interior of the boat and removing and replacing the rotten wood. We have also made a lot of progress with the freezer and we think it will be really great 🙂 We also recently bought a new life raft, we bought a Sea Safe Pro Light for 4 persons, which…
