Summer 2006

The year 2006 was another special year for us on Ejdern. It was the 100 years Anniversary for Ejdern in Södertälje, were she first came in 1906. We celebrated this with one days "open boat" and a special trip with invited guests.
This summer’s timetable was basically the usual with trips to Birka-Adelsö and Drottningholm-Stockholm.
On this page you can read about, and look at pictures, from some of the journeys.

Seasonal winter work 2005 - 2006

During the winter we have done a little of everything onboard. The bigger job was to build an emergency exit from the aft lounge up to the afterdeck. Furthermore we have remounted the Air Ports (small circular windows) in the Forepeak, built a new ladder from the afterdeck down to the between deck and varnished some tree details and the front part of the upper deck. In addition to that the usual spring preparations.

The first journey, May 6th

The first regular journey of the season was as usual a trip to Birka and further to Adelsö. We had quite few passengers but the braves who attended got themselves a nice journey with calm weather. Here are some pictures taken from the land in the canal and from the Sandviken jetty.
