A face mask
To my great surprise, I found Freya looking like this when I turned around after we left our anchorage a couple of days ago. She made excellent use of the clay that was stuck to the anchor.
My favourite thing
The thing I love most on Akka is to show guests the archipelago. It is so statisfying to share my own passion in the little islands with others. Showing the little islands, the red-white holiday houses, the (currently not so lonely) anchorages, the laid-back atmosphere to newcomers is pure pleasure.…
Chattiness
People have said about me that “I can talk for Austria” and it is true that I am a communicative person. But so is Freaya, my current guest! You can imagine how live is on Akka at the moment. Not a single moment goes by where we don’t cover topics…
Welcome Freya
My niece Freya has arrived for a week on Akka and Sweden has done it’s best to greet her. A wonderful sunny day with ideal sailing conditions started her stay. We tacked out of Stockholm and took in the sails in just before we got to Vaxholm. My question: “Do…

Bye bye Jane and Matt

There was quite some cold wind (20+kts, 11 degrees) blowing last night and the thermometer hasn’t risen above 14 degrees by the time we finished breakfast. So, we decided to go to the beach instead of sailing. It was brilliant. Families kept arriving all day, but it never felt crowded…
A pretty, pretty little bay
I am in a waiting patern, as friends will arrive tomorrow in Sandhamn. I made my way out and will spend the night in a georgous little bay at Eknö – very hygge here!
A bonus day
The forecast was pretty bad a few days ago, but it gradually got better. And this is what I got in the afternoon.
