Where a Russian Submarine CRASHED in Sweden’s Backyard... | Sailing Bushpoint | Ep 123

⛵️ Sailing along Sweden’s southern coast into Hanö Bay where a Russian Submarine CRASHED in Sweden’s Backyard in 1981 during the cold war, and for a few tense days Sweden stood on the edge of war. In this episode, we mix sailing with storytelling — from history shaped by the Peace of Roskilde in 1658 to modern events that nearly sparked conflict. No drone shots this time (we’re inside a military zone), but plenty of sailing, scenery, and history along the way. During the sailing season we 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 Welcome aboard Bushpoint Sailing!
