Nils is lovely! Nils is really great! Ok, he gets in the way occasionally (as in always) and rowing him is OK for short stretches (e.g. from Boat to shore) but to explore the skerries he is not suited at all. So, a new toy has made it onto Akka.…
Slowly I am making progress. The last few days were used up with boat-work and the real work is catching up. So, a couple of days in Vaxholm to get some of the work out of the way. But hey, what an office!
I left home last Friday and I left the marina a week later. A long time to travel and to get ready indeed. Was it worth the long wait? Decide for yourself.

A not-so-good weather forecast and the demands of work-work made us head for Vaxholm. The friendly staff and the lovely little town make it the “huvud-stad of the skargarden” for us! This time we actually managed to visit the Castellet and to go for a nice walk in the near-by…
