Sailing from the Ocean to Lake | A mix of Salt & Sweet | Ep 115

We're still sailing with friends on s/y Willow, another trusty Boreal, and making our way to lay up Bushpoint for the winter. Yes, we're a bit behind on YouTube, so for the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @bushpointsailing. In this episode, we leave the charming seaside town of Trosa and begin the transition from saltwater to the sweet waters of Lake Mälaren, where our boat will spend the winter. This episode is full of sailing in different condition, one day it's relaxed sailing-so relaxed we even clean underway! And we pool out the genoa for some more speed. As we approach the Södertälje Canal, we share the water with massive container ships and we send up the drone for some fine shots. In the canal we pass through locks, and under bridges and of course we send up the drone for better view of the canal and of the lock which is the biggest in the Nordic countries. Later on Lake Mälaren, we get wind gusting to 36 knots-perfect for some good sailing! At one point, we wait for a bridge to open (Hjulstabron), and we get lucky to have a container ship come through just as we're allowed to pass. ? As always, we've got drone footage, honest onboard life, and our usual dose of low-key humor. Join us aboard Bushpoint! We might not have the best film quality, but it is authentic.
