Thank goodness our neighbours, Janne, Rigmor &amp; Rufus were camping not too far away &amp; with their usual amazing generosity allowed us to stay with them. A hire car was only available after a sleep-over in our car outside the repair shop &amp; thanks to our tow truck driver Robert's contacts and helpfulness.<br />On to Stockholm to the M&auml;rsta Boat Club to finally meet Bj&ouml;rn and what is to become Lilla Bj&ouml;rn, our first houseboat.<br />We then made the most of a forced holiday with good company &amp; great location. CHECK OUT THE PIC ABOVE.<br />We are now back to work with freighting the Houseboat back home high on our list. Cannot wait to get it here and onto the water. But there is much to do, including working on this web site.<br />It is very exciting to finally have an idea begin to develop into something more tangible and we are not alone. Many people have supported this idea seeing the potential in their own way however it is all a very positive view we share. AquaStay is only one way to help create a Eco-tourism industry here in this beautiful north of Sweden. And Eco is the only way to go with the amazing natural resources and stunning landscapes.<br />&#8203;Sorry no sneak peaks at the houseboat till after our unveiling.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />&#8203;<br />V&aring;r resa s&ouml;derut f&ouml;r att kolla husb&aring;ten gick snett n&auml;r en gr&auml;vling besl&ouml;t sig f&ouml;r att beg&aring; sj&auml;lvmord under v&aring;r bil, mitt p&aring; motorv&auml;gen s&ouml;der om &Ouml;rnsk&ouml;ldsvik. Tack och lov att v&aring;ra grannar Janne, Rigmor och Rufus redan campade n&auml;ra och som med sin vanliga otroliga generositet erbj&ouml;d oss att bo hos dem. Hyrbil fick vi tag p&aring; efter en natt i Volvon utanf&ouml;r verkstaden och tack vare Robert, v&aring;r hj&auml;lpsamme b&auml;rgningsbils-chauff&ouml;rs, kontakter.<br />S&aring;, p&aring; v&auml;g till Stockholm igen och till M&auml;rsta B&aring;tklubb f&ouml;r att &auml;ntligen f&aring; tr&auml;ffa &auml;garen Bj&ouml;rn och vad som vi kommer att kalla Lilla Bj&ouml;rn, v&aring;r f&ouml;rsta husb&aring;t! Sen gjorde vi det b&auml;sta m&ouml;jliga av en p&aring;tvingad semester i ett par dagar. Inte dumt alls, med tanke p&aring; det trevliga s&auml;llskapet och att f&aring; vara p&aring; en underbart plats. Se sj&auml;lva p&aring; kortet l&auml;ngst upp.<br />Nu &auml;r vi tillbaka p&aring; jobbet och har frakt av husb&aring;ten som h&ouml;gsta prioritet. Ser fram emot att f&aring; upp den hit och i vattnet. Men h&auml;r finns att g&ouml;ra, som t.ex. att jobba med hemsidan.<br />Det &auml;r v&auml;ldigt sp&auml;nnande att &auml;ntligen ha en ide som b&ouml;rjar utvecklas till n&aring;got mer p&aring;tagligt, och vi &auml;r inte ensamna. M&aring;nga har st&ouml;tt den h&auml;r ideen, sett potentialen p&aring; sitt eget s&auml;tt och, en positiv syn vi alla delar. AqyaStay &auml;r bara en v&auml;g att hj&auml;lpa till att skapa en Eko-Turism industri h&auml;r i detta underbart vackra norra Sverige. Eko &auml;r enda h&aring;llbara s&auml;ttet att visa upp dess naturliga resurser och fantastiska landskap.<br />Urs&auml;kta, men det blir inget tjuvtittande p&aring; husb&aring;ten till efter v&aring;r officiella lansering!<br /><br /><br /><br /></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
