We’re Sailing Again | Back to Boat Life! Ep 118

We’re back in the water! This episode starts in Västerås, where our boat has been on land all winter. We prep her for launch, set sail on Lake Mälaren, and enjoy a special moment visiting our newborn grandchild. We anchor just outside Drottningholm Palace, home to the Swedish King and Queen. Next day, we navigate through central Stockholm—waiting at bridges and finally locking out into the Baltic Sea. We've now transitioned from fresh to salt water, and this leg ends as we arrive in our home port, Vaxholm. We’ve started the sailing season and are filming lots, but editing will be saved 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! Hi from Jeanette & Fredrik 🇸🇪! We’re the couple behind Bushpoint, sailing our boat, just the two of us on small and big adventures! Join us as we explore remote coastlines, wild anchorages, and beautiful sailing routes through northern Europe and beyond. In the summer of 2022 we sailed all the way to 80 degrees North, to Svalbard! 👉 In 2025, we’ll sail from the Baltic Sea and journey westward and the plan is to sail through Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Shetland Islands, Orkney, and Scotland — a voyage full of rugged coastlines, sailing challenges, and unforgettable stories. 📺 Missed our Svalbard Sailing?
