BÅSTAD-MÖLLE ski event We begin with a historical journey. In the premiere edition in 2021, Lina Korsgren won before Ida Dahl on the women's side, and among the men, Stian Hoelgaard won before Alfred Buskqvist. There is a clear historical connection with Båstad - Mölle; this as history's first ski race is supposed to have been organized at Kullaberg about 1,000 years ago. Harald Blue, was King of Denmark from 964 and of Norway until 974. As King, he introduced Christianity in Denmark. Harald Bluetooth married Tove in 963, who was a widow after Harald's abstinent brother Knut died the year before. Tove had a son Sven (Tveskägg) with Knut who became Harald's foster son. Harald Bluetooth himself had i.a.a daughter Gunhild who married Pallig Tokeseni England. She was murdered together with her family in the "Dane Murder" massacre in England in 1002. Palnatoke, according to the legend, was a Jom Viking and Danish chieftain from Funen who lived at the end of the 9th century. He is probably identical with the Toke, son of Palmairslau from Funen, who in 953 founded the Viking stronghold of Jomsborg in northern Poland. Some smaller stories about Palnetoke are also recorded at the end of the 12th century by the historian Saxo Grammaticus. In one of these it is told that Palnetoke was once forced by King Harald to shoot an arrow into an apple placed on Palnetoke's son's head. The story is a wandering tale but is interesting, not least because it is the world's oldest recorded version of the later so popular Wilhelm Tell legend. A funny episode is also mentioned by the above-mentioned Saxo Grammaticus: King Harald, who is said to have been a good cross-country skier, was once challenged in this "sport" by his enemy Palnatoke at a gathering on Kullaberg in Scania, whereby Harald demanded that Palnatoke go down one of the steepest cliffs which would actually mean death. However, the intention came to naught as Palnatoke survived. This is said to be the oldest referenced ski competition in history. Even today, the place is called Palnatoke's slope on Kullaberg. https://lnkd.in/dw-ykqED

Will Philippe Delamare keep his horses till the finish? 👇 Whilst we spent our time looking at the weather around Cape Horn we have not spoken much about Philippe Delamare in first place on Mowgli. The reason is that he is sailing in a very "predictable" stretch of water with steady winds. Even the French skipper in a recent blog mentioned how time seems to be stretching as it feels like an overstretched holiday. Navigation in the trades, after all the excitement, can in fact become a little boring, especially if you've sailed over 20,000 miles! Philippe is just 2700 from the finish line. He was not affected by the Doldrums and is proceeding north at stable constant speed. However, in approximately he will have to get back to work with his trade winds holiday about to finish. Just like in the south Atlantic we had the horses latitudes and the St Helena high pressure, in the north Atlantic we find a transition zone around the tropics and a high Pressure which is referred to as the Azores high, or if you are American, the Bermudan high. Just like in the southern hemisphere, the high pressure moves around the Atlantic, sometime it merges with the horses latitudes light winds sometimes it is clearly separate. To the north we have the carousel of depression originating from the north American continent and heading, at this time of the year, for Europe. Philippe will have to negotiate this transition and find the quickest path to the finish, which often involves punching through the band of light winds and hooking onto a low pressure, very much like on the way south skippers headed south till Tristan da Cunha before turning east. This is the last potentially very slow stretch for Philippe before routing towards A Coruna. Once north of the tropical calms, easterly or northeasterly winds are absolutely unseasonal and almost any wind will be from a favourable sector save for anomalies. https://lnkd.in/dEG3iH-A
