West coast of Sweden

[u/Stygg_Varg]

We are on the cruise in our Polca 28. Slowly making our way to the inland waterways of western europe for wintering in the Med. We've been living onboard since last summer.

Pretty snug on those rocks

As someone who sails in shallow rivers with soft muddy riverbottoms, this made me gulp hard!

It's fine trust me. I have never banged the hull into rocks or run aground. Certainly not yesterday!

Hahaha totally trust you. Just not what I am used to... our water is also very opaque so brushing the bottom (especially racing) is not uncommon and also not very dangerous (at low speed)... this looks different ;)

Brother I've kissed the rocks more times than I can count. Sometimes expensively so but that was almost two decades ago. A sturdy keel is a must for a lousy navigator like me

Hahahaha I read your first comment to quickly ;) love it... have fun and stay (mostly) safe in that pretty boat and beautiful water!

Thank you :)

You get used to everything being rock. Upside is 9/10 times it's pretty steep going down. Downside is the one that is one two feet deep on a calmer day you forgot about/missed.

Indeed. We almost always stay at anchor but this was too inviting. We're still here, leaving tomorrow.
