Northern base camp

What is my favorite skipper doing ? Training for the Spring Marathon to prepare Röde Orm for her departure ? Or may be this Viking is making sure he will have some big juicy apples to distill his secret brew.  The problem is we won't be around to pick them up. This small cute rustic house 500 kms north of here will be deserted most of the time expect for a yearly family visit. It is a temporary land base that Magnus has chosen to keep things that could not fit on the boat and could not be given away. It is situated in one of the nicest place in Sweden, in Gamleby, where the Stockholm Archipelago starts. As all nomads we need a base camp to come back once in a while to rest, or to gather our souvenirs. It could be a temporary one and the camp can change places as we go along, until we found the perfect compromise.
