There simply aren’t enough postcards in this world to cover all the impressions the archipelago has to offer. I sailed only 4 miles today from Lilla Nassa to Långskar, part of the Björkskar archipleago. And see for yourself. [gird-gallery id=”6″]
… because wherever you go it is beautiful, but Lilla Nassa is special. I arrived after a very slow sail from Saxaren (just north of Säck) early in the afternoon. It was like sailing on cats paws – very quietly at 3 knots. But we eventually arrived at around 1…
Today we had blue skies, warm weather and then a wall of fog! Really, really beautiful! Sailing into it was one of the less smart moves the skipper made this year. But once he realized his blunder he smartly turned round and was quickly out of it. He could then…
Agreed, the island in-front of the cruise ship is not very large. But still, these ships are enormous and a spectacle to watch as they move very slowly through the narrows of the approach to Stockholm. We call them “Stora Fuckers” and please do excuse my Swedish.
Methinks the sky was particularly blue today. The Zauberwetter for which we waited so long has truly arrived and seems to be staying with us for a while. Temperatures in the 30s, hardly any clouds and blue sea to enjoy.
Inge and Bernhard left us yesterday for a few days sightseeing in Stockholm. The farewell was a rainy one but the rest of the time Zauberwetter was available to them and they got a good impression of the possibilities of a great Scandinavian summer. They were only for a few…
The fine weather allowed us to enjoy the cinema last evening. After a very chilled afternoon (very little wind so only 10 nms of sailing) on Traskö Storö and a hearty beef steak/wedges/salad meal we climbed up the steep rock right next to our mooring. It was not a cloudless…
As we chilled in the sunshine right next to a massive boulder on Traskö Storö, three teenage kids came in a small motor boat and landed right next to us. They quickly tied up the boat, grabbed a rope and scrambled up that impressive rock. It is a good 15-20 meters…
New guests on Akka! Inge and Bernhard arrived the day before yesterday and it seems that they brought good weather with them! After an evening in Vaxholm (sadly the Kaffeekuchenhaus was already closed) we set sail yesterday morning for Gällnö – in sunshine. So, straight after our arrival we naturally went to…
It was absolutely great to have Bexi and Flo on board Akka for a week. After last years introduction to each other and the sailing on Akka we had a very chilling week this year. Maybe not with the best weather but certainly a lot of fun. The longer stay…
