Nyköping to Nynashamn

Up early to buy more exhaust pipe. The shop actually opened at 0645! Managed to dismantle the exhaust and put in new pipe quite quickly Hooray!

Roger at the helm
We now had ample supplies on board so went off to the Pud School (Hotel and Catering College) for one last time. David on a neighbouring British boat very kindly came with me in his car to take me back quickly to the marina when I’d stored the car and so we gained some time.
We slipped at 1330 and motored off towards Nynashamn in warm sunny windless weather. Arriving at the opening bridge into the “wriggles” west on Nynashamn just after 2000 that evening.
We were pretty tired but very relieved to have got away. The engine and exhaust were working well and the track we’d followed through Stendorren and past Trosa were very beautiful in the sunshine. We moored up at the waiting buoy, had a pleasant supper and a celebratory brandy and went early to bed.
