Olive's mast is placed

Its a better day today, sun is shining through the clouds, rain has stopped and the temperature is around 18-19 degrees. My plan is to meet Jonas and get some tips on where to buy an ocean type jacket, hi feet trousers and waterproof boots. That means I got to go to Gothenburg. Of course I would like to see Olive with her new mast installed as the first thing in the morning.
I woke up early because there was already sun light at 05:30. Tried to get some more sleep but with not much success. After a warm shower I had my breakfast and went to see Jonas. I do not want to go near Olive  to distract technicians work without asking Jonas.
Jonas tried to call the marine wear shops to find out if they may have the goods that I want. He spent lot of time on his phone but with not much success. It seems that everybody these days have abandoned to use their phones in Sweden. Eventually I decided to go to Gothenburg and try my chance in couple of shops. But first I was curious about Olive's new appearance. Here she is with her beautiful Selden in-mast furling  mast installed:


Now she looks like a real beautiful sailing boat. You can see the Furuno Radar being placed at half the mast height. With this good news I went to the Hotel's restaurant and had a nice lunch then started off to Gothenburg. After an hour of driving my gps guided me through the city traffic and I came to the parking lot. But unfortunately it was completely full. However, I have this magical luck of finding the best of the parking places. Relying on that I started circling in the vicinity of the car park and thanks to my parking angel I found a nice parking place. Luckily I also found the shop where they sell Henry Lloyd Sailing outfit and I bought myself the jacket and the trousers. But unfortunately I couldn't find the waterproof boots. Anyway today was a successful day, we made progress both on the boat front and with my sailing gear. Before I left Gothenburg I had Sushi at a modest Sushi House and made may way to Ellös. Around 22:30 it was still light and I watched the sun set. I want to share this impressive sun set  with you:


Well its already getting too late I better go to bed. Tomorrow Saadet and Frederico are coming I got to go to Vettenberg Airport and pick them up. See you tomorrow !
