A ride with the cyclocross bike on Järvafältet north of Stockholm.. Dry gravel roads, blue skies and sunshine, red and yellow autumn colors, a very nice day.. Lunch at Helenes Café with the lady afterwards went down a treat..

Sailing in Roslagen - Sept 26th-27th
Final sailing weekend for the year.. At the harbour club, the first batch of boats were lifted out of the water while I headed out north-west in a light breeze.. I arrived at Alnön a couple of hours later for a lazy afternoon in a nice sheltered cove.. Some food and movies and then a good nights sleep.. Sunday offered a fresh breeze from north-west so I made good pace with the genoa taking in the nice scenery in a pretty desolate archipelago..

Sailing, Uddhamn-Brännäset, 28th-29th of Aug
A short sailing trip is a lot better than no sailing trip, so I headed from work Friday afternoon up to Herräng to cast off shortly before the sunset.. Over fairly calm waters I enjoyed beautiful sceneries in the skies as the evening turned towards night.. Anchored on the hook in Brännäset with good shelter from the south-westerly winds.. A full moon and some Northern Lights added further drama to admire.. Saturday morning offered 8-11 m/s wind on the nose so I had a fun sail back with reefed main and genoa..

Hiking, Anarisfjällen, July 2nd-4th
With another old friend getting married later this summer, we met up for a couple of days of socializing in Anarisfjällen, Jämtland.. I arrived a bit late, so I missed the helicopter transport and hiked up from Tossåsen, which was not bad at all.. Mostly sunny weather, good fun, edible food and great views..

Scuba Diving, Cirkewwa Malta, Sat 30th of Nov
Saturday diving with Dive Systems on Malta, 29th of November 2014.. We visited the two scuttled wrecks "Tugboat Rosie" and "P29 Patrol Boat" at Cirkewwa.. Cloudy day so a bit dark down on 30+ meters.. Sea temperature is now around 19C.. The other divers were doing a wreck diving course so I had a look around and inside the boats myself, filming with my GoPro Hero 3+ and a new telescopic GoPole stick..
