This is "Onbekommerd"!

A World Heritage City?

We seemed to be quite busy today. Checking the vital statistics of the boat (filters, oil, diesel, coolant) needs to be done from time to time and today was a good opportunity. Lyn did quite a bit of work and I did some trip / route planning for the next week or so.
It was therefore after 4 when we finally got to explore Karlskrona further than the supermarket. That was a big disappointment. It is claimed that this is a World Heritage City, but we found it to be run down, poorly maintained and full of construction sites. We have by now seen quite a few Swedish towns and lets say that Karlskrona is not anywhere near the top of the list.....
In the meantime, the weather gap that was predicted for tomorrow morning seems to be disappearing. So we may well be here a bit longer. That's no problem, the marina is well sheltered and the showers are hot. The atmosphere amongst the (mainly Dutch) 'flotilla' is good. The supermarket is 10 minutes away, the Kindle is full of books and we have plenty to do.
If we do indeed stay here tomorrow, Wednesday seems 'out' as well. After that, the outlook is a bit better. Remember: 'A patient skipper always has good weather'!

In the absence of a nice Karlskrona picture, here is a rare one of both of us on the front deck of Onbekommerd. Courtesy of Gwilym, taken in Kalmar:
