A very quiet night in Paradiset provided us with these evening images.
An evening walk on Idholmen
Paradiset, Ingmarsö, Idholmen, Finham – I believe the bay is known under all these names. It is doesn’t matter really as it is just very pretty here.
I like Ingmarsö
What I like most about Ingmarsö is, the vibrant island feeling it has. The little guest harbour with it’s small bakery stall. It has now a small bar with very friendly staff. The baggeri restaurant with it’s Sweden-chique ambiente. The number of people that pass you when you go on…
A fellow Kings Cruiser
Gotland Runt foiled our attempts to stay a Sandhamn and so we decided to go for a little bay just a bit further along. As we motored around the corner, I spotted another Kings Cruiser already anchoring there. We circled around it, but we could not see anbody onboard. What…

Another galley view
I must confess – I can’t get enough of these galley views
A seal sighting
I have seen a few seals in the water and while it is always exciting, it is also a bit disappointing, as you just see the nose sticking out of the water. Not so today. As we passed Mansören, we saw this beauty posing for us.
