"Low flying whipped cream and cookies" Top 5 Page for this destination Sweden Warnings Or Dangers Tip by Trekki

Haha, this is also more of a fun warning tip than describing a real danger, provided you are on safe ground. But I don’t write for sailors, because they should know what to do anyhow.
Sweden’s west coast is beautiful, magic! But, being exposed to the sea the weather can change quite quickly. Even if it is sunny, the sea can become rough and the wind is then very fierce. I love this heavy wind and cannot get enough of it. But…. I made a mental note that will forever stick in my brain (I hope). If it is windy, don’t have your coffee and cake on the deck! Things can get lost during the time the waiter needs to bring them to your table. This is what happened to us when we were in Möllosund during a beautiful sunny and very windy day. Even if we have picked out a place on the deck where it was a bit less windy, the poor waiter had to cross the deck and was exposed to all the wind. We have ordered coffee, tea and cakes with whipped cream. Coffee and tea should have come with a cookie. But…. only half of the whipped cream and cookies arrived with cake, tea and coffee. The others were gone with the wind, lol. We almost rolled on the floor laughing and shared the remaining whipped cream and coffee of course. And we were happy that our cakes were heavy enough to stay on the plate.

But be aware that this easily happens in windy weather. Maybe the fish in Möllosund’s and the other coast village waters are used to this and occasionally fed on whipped cream and cookies? Haha.. Before it gets lost, I want to save Christine.j's comment about fish, wind and cream here:
quote Christine:
###I can imagine this:"Are you coming for some some coffee and cream this afternoon, Mrs Cod? It looks like it's going to be windy."###
