After a disaster morning – gas ran out and I had no coffee – we sailed to beautiful Möja. And what a perfect sailing it was. After a cloudy and cold morning the weather cleared up during midday and we sailed under reefed genoa with 6+ knots to our destination…
After 2 weeks at Vaxholm, it was finally time to go. I managed to get a lot of work-work done and tinkered on Akka here and there. All in all it had a very nice time and Maria and Sophia helped from the harbour office helped me almost daily with…
I will be at Vaxholm for the next 3 weeks to do some work. Initially I planned to do some DIY work on Akka, but it appears to be now some proper work. But who complains with an office like this.

After leaving Akka safely wrapped up in Ramsmora, we travelled by non-water transport to beautiful Sigtuna (“Where Sweden begins!”) to visit some former Bisambergski. Maria and Peter and their lovely children Philip and Ella treated us to a wonderful evening followed by a night in a hugely comfortable bed, and…
