Christmas Sailing – why not?

Imagine sailing in a fantastic archipelago – accompanied only by the wind, nature and sense of privilege. In a place that 6 months ago was (over) crowded by fellow sailors.

Magic!

Can you spot the owl?

We have enjoyed this individual three times during winter at Lilla Kornö, N58 E11,
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilla_Korn%C3%B6 .

When gales wind occur in the tiny harbour, the howling sound in the furling main mast sounds like a competing owl rival. The rivalry starts with howling competition. Funny first couple of hours. Later – actually still very funny…

Only 6 hours of daylight at 58 N, Dec 24th 2011.
