Wind, waves and rain on Lake Vänern

Our South African / Swedish friends Arend and Birgitta came on board this morning. By 10am we were on our way for the long trip across Lake Vänern to Läckö. The weather was the worst we have had it in quite some time, not only overcast with regular rain but also the wind was more than the predicted 10 knots. After hacking into increasing waves for well over an hour and the conditions becoming increasingly less comfortable we decided to turn back rather than continuing for another 3 hours. Remember that this is a BIG lake.
So we are now in Vänersborg. Had a nice meal and some wine:





Tomorrow the forecast is for light winds and also from behind, so we are going to have an early (6 am) start, again for Läckö and its castle!
