A grey day
There was much less rain than expected and we even had some sun and blue patches of sky. But still a a grey but attractive day. I did not get Nils’s oar however 🙂
Artipelag – while it is raining
What awful weather we are having this year. OK, there are sunny days in between, but after last weeks storm, we have now 4 rainy days coming up. 🙁 I have come to the artipleag modern art museum to hide out for one day. There is currently an excellent exhibition…
Walking day #5
Stockholm presented itself in perfection yesterday. Blue skies, tempetratures of around 22 degrees. We tried to get a replacemnet oar for Nils, but failed, as the chandler in Kommendörsgatan no longer exists. We then had breakfast and walked back to the harbour to move Akka for the last night. After…
Stormy day #4
Jonny does pack it all in really. Yetserday he was out doing the Stockholm museums, while I stayed on baord to do some work and watch the oncoming weather front. The forecast predicted 5-6 Bft and gusts up to 8 Bft. And it was right! Jonny timed it well and…
Exciting Day #3
Jonny is lucky and he gets it all. Sun, wind, harbour-life, anchorages, sailing, motoring and now hitting a rock! After a windiy-ish night, we left early in the morning as we decided to head for Stockholm We left Lilla Nasse at 7am and hit a rock 07:02! We were very…
Successful Day #2
A picture book sailing day got us to Lilla Nassa. It was a bit of a struggle to get us properly moored, as the neighbours were unusually uncooperative, but we managed it end, despite them unsetting our anchor when they suddenly left while we were on a little walk. There…
Day #1
It was the first day for Jonny on the archipelago and we hit gold. Easy sailing from Ingmarsö to Melskären and a lovely bay that offered great BBQ-opportunities.
A guest has arrived
Jonny just spent a week with Victoria walking the Alpa-Adria-trail and now I have him for a week on Akka. I find it funny that we share our brother-in-law this way. I am so looking forward to showing him the islands with the little red houses.
Forecast
I was on my way from Ingmarsö to Stockholm by ferry boat to pick up my brother in law, when I saw the forecast. Gusts of 23 m/s! That is 44 knots of wind! I am not sure what happened in the end. When we travelled back by ferry, we…
Ingmarsö
I have been here on Ingmarsö a few times. On our very first sailing holiday, we went to the wrong harbour and were trapped there by strong winds for a few days. Many lovely, long walks are stil in my memory. And it ist still a great place to visit.
