    Stockholm citysprint

     

     

    Ericsson was the first boat to leave Sandhamn in the morning and the first to sail into Stockholm at today’s' city sprint in the VolvoOceanRace.

    I got a position at the main grind at the Green Dragon. It was a challenging job but wonderful in many ways. Jus tot be on a monster of speed as these boats are, it gives you a rush and to be a part of maneuvering makes the adrenaline to pump through you veins. To go through the archipelago where I usually sail, goes by motorboat or ferry and now on a v70, what a morning. While at the Stockholm harbor and the race village there were a huge crowd greeting the boats coming in and when all of them were tied up a ceremony were held at the stage and then they the crew went off for a royal barbecue.
