Wooden Boat Women > Woman owner of Wooden Spidsgatter in Sweden

Thanks to world cruising friend Silvija Springis-Brandell, I've discovered a spidsgatter amazingly similar to Pax. Not only did Silvija recognize the similarity in the two boats, but she has helped me to connect with the owner and now, I'm adding a day in Stockholm to the Danish spidsgatter story adventure in June. I'll fly to Stockholm, visit Silvija and Egon and their boat Magnum Bonum, then carry on with Lotta, the owner of Agnete. Agnete is an MSJ Hanson, built in Denmark. Another piece in the Pax puzzle may be solved.
