Stranger than fiction:
Last week, on my way from Patrick’s family to Naghmeh, I passed this huge classic sailing ship. Its AIS signal helped me to find out:
… she is the Götheborg of Sweden (see homepage).
Why is that special?
Because a few days earlier I tried to meet Bengt, an old sailor, in Ystad. Bengt was member of the crew on the ship on her Asia expedition 17 years ago. Back then on the same route that I am planning to take. I was hoping for advice and thought exchange of any kind. However, Bengt and I never met because his cancer disease did not leave him energy to see me. So I finally left Ystad with the positive thought that I will continue Bengt’s journey anyway.
Now my course had crossed the ship’s route much earlier and more physically than I expected.
What is even weirder: Götheborg of Sweden just started another Asia expedition (see homepage). And I am staying in Göteborg right now.
Sure I will follow the ship’s location online. Perhaps we will meet again. Even though this time she will be sailing through the Mediterranean Sea and Suez, whereas I will cross the Atlantic and sail around Africa.
Touring Test 
hey Boran alter Abenteurer! Denk oft an dich und finds geil was du machst und freut mich für dich dass alles in deinem Sinne läuft! Mitte August komm ich mal in deine Nähe vermutlich. Zumindest hätte ich den Plan nach Norwegen zu fahren 3 Wochen. Und jetzt gehe ich – sofern ichs schaff – “paar Tage” über die Alpen (ohne Schirm). Hab auch mal bisl länger frei 🙂 Wünsch dir was und alles Gute 4 u! LG Stefan
