Back in 1993 I moved from my native Gothenburg on the Swedish
west coast to Stockholm on the Baltic side of Sweden. I was
very impressed by how shiny and new looking all metal fittings
were on boats in marinas in Stockholm. "Those guys must spend
quite some time polishing things" Later I realized this is how
benign the almost fresh water of the Baltic is compared to
the Atlantic (almost) brine of the west coast.
Welcome, Martin.
Been hanging out here since late 1980s but thanks anyway.
I once rode my motorcycle from Gothenburg to Stockholm. It was a very
boring ride. But both Gothenburg and Stockholm were gorgeous cities to
visit.
There are several routs between Gothenburg and Stockholm. If you
just followed the signs you got the boring one.
