Today's new toy. Swedish m/1851 cutlass for the Navy. A bit on the pricey side, but worth it.

People say my 2002 Ford is old. Well I might argue that the car next to me in the garage is old too...

Took a small pirate history trip today in the footsteps of the pirate princess Cecilia Vasa. We went to the town of Arboga where Cecilia resided a few years in the 16th century as "the Countess of Arboga", in the house that is now the town hall. I also found a suiting bottle at a flea market.

Still a few months until we sail the seas again, bur wintertime is maintenance time. We need batteries, pumps and all those other things to work untill then and the engineering crew is slowly making it happen on TS Constantia.

Update of the wardrobe from Sea Punks, courtesy of Distro44, today. Only one of the shirts in my size, so the rest will go to crew mates at TS Constantia.

So here we go! The "small" Deck Officer certificate finished, and not just the Engineer Officer certificate. I think I am allowed a small celebration.

Todays gift to myself. The biography of the rather obscure swedish privateer Stefan Löfving, by Eirik Hornborg. Published in 1946. Too bad I can't start reading it until, Thursday, when I've done my exams in navigation and whatnot for my Fartygsbefäl klass 8.
