Hey guys, Andy here. Welcome back to the show. I'm recording this the day before it comes out,

and I'm in a pretty special place right now. I am sitting on the bow of the Off Chapman,

one of Sweden's old clipper ships that they have, it's still fully rigged. It's sitting in

Stockholm Harbor, and they've turned it into a hostel. It's a special place for me because when I

got married back in 2011,

a bunch of my friends that came over from the U.S. to the wedding, we took them into the city for a day,

and all of us, I think there was like 20 of us booked rooms on the ship. So you can actually

stay on board in the ship cabins. And I've come back here like once a year maybe when I'm in town. Mia happens to be

in Rome right now on vacation with a girlfriend to hers. So I'm on my own and decided to come into

Stockholm for the day and to stay on the ship. So I'm just doing some work tonight. It's a really

inspiring place to work though. I've got my own little cabin. It's got a little writing desk on at a porthole that I can open and see the outside. Stockholm is known for its views over the

waterfront, but I think this is the coolest view of all from the deck of this old square

rigor. It's also appropriate because the reason I'm in the city today is I got another tattoo,

number six for me, and it's another sort of old school, nautical-inspired tattoo of,

to represent our time up in Svalbard at 80 degrees north.

So you can check out that on the show notes of today's episode.

A couple quick announcements.

We have finalized the details of the talk we're giving in Mustron.

So those of you that are listening from Sweden, it is going to be sponsored by Rutgersen.

Doors are going to open at 6 p.m. I think.

And it's going to cost 100 kroner per person to show up, basically just a fee so we know who's coming.

So you can go online to 59-north.com slash events and sign up for that it's a pretty big room i think it holds over 200 people
