A bit of shaky arrival, as the skipper messed up the anchor maneuver. First the anchor chain was messed-up and I could not get it untangled, then the anchor-band jammed up! By the time I sorted it all out we (gently) hit the pier. But all is well as the…
A heron, a swan family and a cormorant all together. What a view!
We were here before. We liked it. We came again. A couple of perfect natural harbours on Ringsön, beautiful surroundings with loads of boats anchoring near you, giving the whole thing a special feeling. So we decided to come here again and spend all day working, swimming and messing about.…
