Peter found on Google Maps a little restaurant that offered an end-of-season buffet for 100 SEK. It was just at the other end of the harbour. So, off we went. It is a very hügge little place (Kvarnudden Cafe, B&B and Krog) that offered a superb selection of side dishes,…
Eija and Peter from Abigail came over for an afternoon coffee yesterday. We had a wonderful time chatting about boats, houses, dogs, wedding anniversaries, and many, many other topics. It was an extremely pleasant afternoon/evening and we are already looking forward to the next.
Back in 2014 I met Eija and Peter on Abigail in Norrtälje and we stayed in Email touch over the years. Our holidays did not overlap the last 3 years but this year they come down to the Stockholm archipelago again and we arranged to meet up. We loosely arranged…
After 4 weeks of remote islands we needed some holiday from the tranquility. Our crossing over from Rödhamn was so fast that we had enough time to head all the way for Norrtälje. Norrtälje is a small town that has shops, supermarkets, hairdresser, petrol stations with Swedish gas bottles, a…
After 1 1/2 months in Aland and Finish waters it is time to head back to Sweden. We had a great time and will be back! An early morning offered me another breathtaking sunrise before we set sail for our home waters. The wind allowed us to just lay our…
We like Rödhamn a lot. It is a well sheltered harbour, ideal as a starting point for hopping across to Sweden. It is a growing enterprise though, since it has at least doubled in size since our last visit 6 or 7 years ago. But we also liked the stone-art…
Victoria has figured out where the expression “champagne sailing” comes from. In her opinion, the shape of the cardinal buoys resemble a champagne bottle.
The wind has turned to west and the way home is more difficult than the fantastic ride we had to Heslinki. So, since we have plenty of time a bunny-hop to Sottunga was on the cards. The church near the harbour features an interesting layout. The church tower seems to…
As the forecast was very wet & nasty, we decided to stay a day longer at Seglinge. However, it turned out to be much nicer and we took the offer of free bikes of Seglinge Guesthamn and went via a ferry to the neighbouring island of Kummlinge. As it was…
Probably the best walk ever! Victoria adds: Seglinge may well be the friendliest island in the world. They go to no end of trouble to make their visitors happy, and not for any economic benefit since there are no cafes or restaurants or souvenir shops on the island to benefit…
