I am looking forward to go north by boat, as is now an established tradition. The exact date remains to be determined, it has to do with the storm season and the sailing plan of the ships. The smaller boats are a bit too cramped to stay on for any length of time; the larger ships tend not to get to port if the winds exceed storm force. But anything is better than driving in the valleys and across the mountains, at this time of year. Rune
