Hey, this is Anna Viners, live from Sweden. Welcome back to the 59 North Sailing podcast with your host, Andy Schell. Enjoy the show.

Sienna. Welcome to back to the 59 Nord podcast. That's my best attempt at Swedish this morning, and it means, hello, welcome back to the 59 North podcast. I'll try and do a little more Swedish as we go here.

I'm getting excited to go back to Sweden.

I know it's not happening until next summer,

but nonetheless, this cold weather back in Lancaster has me thinking Swedish thoughts.

Anyway, this is episode number 73.

This is part three of the Across the North Sea essay series I've been doing.

The third of four parts.

We'll wrap this up next Friday.

Quickly, this episode is again sponsored by Collegomor Marine.

Check out coligomorine.com and also check out 59-north.com.

And I'm posting some stuff that John sent me.

He's over in Europe for the Mets Conference.

And finally, they've won a Dame Award,

which is a design award for technology and sailing. Really cool stuff. I'll post that on the website.

Big thanks to John and Collegomor Marine for sponsoring this episode of the podcast. Again, check them out

at caligomorine.com. This is really fun reading this and reliving this North Sea stuff. I read it in real

time, meaning I haven't gone back to read this in a long time since I wrote this probably.

So as I'm reading it, I'm also reliving this in my head. It's been really exciting to do so.

And I'm glad to hear the comments of the folks out there that have been enjoying it.

So without further ado, here is part three of sailing across the North Sea.

Thanks to the Blaggards for providing the intro and outro music.
