What a surprise! Meeting Micka, Linda and Eden again after 5 years. The last time we spent together was in the boat yard in Almarimar in Spain.

They spent the winter on the Orkneys. Working for locals and going to school. Maybe the soon will get the permit for working in a knitting factory on Fair Isle :-)

Their old engine broke down near Sumburgh and they had to be towed by the RNLI to Lerwick. Fortunaltey, they soon will get another engine.

Saying good bye until maybe the next year...
