Friday Column: Sled-Dogging

Richard came by on Sunday, only a few minutes after myself, Mia, Börje, Lisa (Fisa) and Claes had returned from our improvised shooting range down at the Blåsbo farm, and in the midst of making lunch (a sort of ‘pyttipanna’ – Swedish for mung – omelet arrangement) he asked if I wanted to come along to train the huskies.

So, back to the old days of sitting in a foreign café and writing about it.

I’m in Wickman’s. In Enköping. It is January in Sweden and yet it’s raining today (this was written on Thursday), and about 3º plus (above zero). Skitväder. The café is on the corner of a small ‘roundy’ as Mia is apt to call them, and on the opposite corner is an appropriately named bicycle shop called Cykel Hörnan (Cycle Corner).

Like the new look? Should make it easier to update photos and journal entries on here for the future, I hope. Check out the "Recent Journal Posts" for my latest musings.

Father & Son Sailing is the humble little business that I got going a few years ago when I realized that Andy Schell Sailing would spell "ASS" on my business cards. And we can't have that. Indeed, as the name implies, it's sailing related, and primarily involves me and my dad. Andy & Dennis. But it also involves (more often than not) my beautiful girlfriend Mia, and my inspiring mom, Gail (appropriate name, eh?). Offshore yacht delivery is our specialty (my dad and I are both licensed captains, and Mia and Mom have thousands of offshore miles as crew), but we do other things too - Celestial Nav. workshops, sail training, and my writing.

We have lots of friends, which you'll find around the site. I enjoy making relationships with people, and I take things very personally. I strive to do things the Right way, with a capital "R," and we hope that comes across when you work with us. Check out the site, have a look at my credentials and experience, read some of my articles and decide if you want to work with us. We'd like to work with you (if you're nice).
