Sailing Sweden | PredictWind Route Planning | Ep 122

⛵️ We continue our sailing on the East Coast of Sweden and we use PredictWind Professional for our route planning. In this episode, we begin in Borgholm on the beautiful island of Öland. We explore the town, visit the ruins of Borgholm Castle, and take a bike ride through the meadows — and have a look at traditional Swedish Midsummer food. Then it’s time to plan our next passage. We show how we use PredictWind to check weather, routing, and local wind patterns before setting sail. We cast off, set the sails, and continue south — ending by sailing under the impressive Öland Bridge, which was Europe’s longest bridge when it was built in 1972, connecting the island to the mainland. During the sailing season we are filming lots, but editing we save for rainy days or winter downtime—so episodes will come out a bit less regularly. 📸 For real-time updates, follow us on Instagram: @bushpointsailing ⚓️ Thanks for watching! ⛵️ Welcome aboard Bushpoint Sailing!
