Akka is out of the water and wrapped for the winter. I hope we prepared her well for the winter and that all goes well. We invested in some new tarpaulin and decided to have the mast off this year. This made the whole operation of wrapping mach easier and…
Unthinking planning made the lifting out of Akka also our 25th wedding anniversary. So, we will spend our special day wrapping Akka, cleaning everything and packing. As a special treat we will have 2 tins of chilli-con-carne for dinner! At least the day started with a beautiful and misty morning.
Only a few more days to go now. At the one hand it is sad that we have to leave on the other hand we are also looking forward to the kids, a large bed, a normal toilet etc. etc. We are slowly getting Akka ready for the winter. Nils…
Yours Truly is an idiot, a “Vollpfosten”, a complete plonker, … Well, you get the idea. After 2 1/2 months of sailing without any major or minor hiccups we came yesterday to our last port of call, Vaxholm. No wind, sun shine, an almost empty harbour, welcoming waves from the…
We needed a washing machine and it is only a bunny-hop from Lilla Nassa to Sandhamn, so this is where we went. Sandhamn has a big guesthamn and it is said that it is a very posh place. This might be but it certainly has no washing machine. We staid…
A windy stop over at Lilla Nassa! When we arrived it was about 6 Bft+ and it kept going throughout the night. We had a good space and had Akka on 4 land lines and the anchor and were safe & sound. The wind made it a rather cold and…
We went to Norrpada to anchor at a natural harbour. As we passed our designated bay we just passed it as we both thought that it can’t be right – way to small and too shallow. But no, it was Hallskär as we picked it out in the harbour guide.…
After our kayaking trip we decided to go to Granhamn, just around the corner from Fejan. There was a heavy wind going from south-east and even with the engine going at full speed we only made 2-3 knots. But the little sheltered natural harbour at Granhamn was only 20 minutes…
We wanted to try out kayaking for a long time. So we went to Fejan to hire one and to give it a go. We got the instructions,the kit and had our water and chocolate strapped in and started with a little trepidation. But the thing is much more stable…
It was such great fun to meet Peter and Eija from Abigail again! We had 3 great days together. They are off back home now and we wish them fair winds and are looking forward to meeting them again soon.
