There were two reasons why I stopped at Öregrund. Hardly any wind and a strong desire for a shower. I have been here before and have only vague memories, as on both occasions the weather was not very nice and I did not go for a walk. Not so today!…
I have now 3 solar panels and I have spent a week now without connecting to a shore power. In fact, when the sun is out, I produce power when charging the laptop or other devices. I have the ambition to not hook up for the whole of July. We’ll…
After the last few days, the wind was back to “nice & gentle”. Just as well, as the 25+ kts can be quite a bit. I feel that I am getting my feeling for Akka again. June was mostly spent by working and entertaining, and I did not do much…

After a couple of days in Vaxholm, I set off for Höga Kusten this morning! And what a start. Bad weather has been around for a couple of days. It seems to keep hanging around for a few more days. But, the good news is that it blows from the…
A wonderful week has passed very quickly. We did not just have Zauberwetter, we had magic weather. The temperature was basically around 25-30 degrees all week long so that we were longing for some clouds. Thanks Margit for staying on Akka and being such an excellent student.
Björkslär is a very regular stop for me. Normally I choose my favourite little island – Skinnbroken. This year, the forecast recommends staying clear from it, so we decided to go to the main channel and moor against the rocks there. After dinner, I took out the Kayak for an…
There is a phrase that I keep repeating: “It does not matter where you go in the archipelago. It will be beautiful!” And this applies to Kallskär too.
