Greetings all. Phase I of a muti-year plan was completed 2025, namely Chesapeake to Scotland via Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Ireland. Boat is currently on the hard for winter storage. Summer 2026 plans are for Caledonia Canal, across to, and then through, the Baltic ending up in or near Stockholm for next winter's layup.
That's the general plan . . . many details still being filled in. A (quite) significant one is where to winter the vessel. Never having been there, not sure whether being "in town" is a criteria or not. Anticipate either: a. only being in the vicinity long enough to complete winter perparations or; b. if I can secure a Sweedish Visa, stay for an period of time after the sailing season.
Anticipate enjoying the Sweedish archipeligo for some time early 2027 season, then utilizing the Gota system to cross Sweeden back to the entrance to the Baltic, and back to the UK for winter 2027/8.
All that being said. . . . . any suggestions from folk who have experienced similar cruising winter storage in the area, or even better, are home-based in the vicinity?
Thanks much in advance,
Tom
