Neither does the weather make one think of Easter. The warm air is back, making you rather think of Walpurgis night. We have understood that spring is very late in Sweden and we have no wish to trade places. Now that the wind is back after more than 24 hours of near dead calm it is coming from due west and that is of course perfect, considering our course.Everyone appreciated the beautiful day with sunshine and near dead calm, and sundeck was full of off-duty deckhands. Work on the deck caulking cracks where water may sip in is in good progress. If it is a success will show when we have our next heavy rain.We still have fresh apples on board for everyone. But today there is only the bottom layer left in the last box and later on today the stocks will presumably be finished, unless our chefs have a box or two hidden for special purposes.
