The conditions on the journey this year were often tricky, but Akka helped me out more than once. I am so glad to have made the decision to buy her 10 years ago. Sure, she is not the fastest or most spacious boat, but then I haven’t spent silly amounts…
Apparently, the nickname given to me by the Ramsmora marina staff is “Mr. Gällnö”, because I always talk about my favourite island. 🙂 I feel it is a good nickname, as Gällnö has never let me down and I love it. And so it was again on our last day…
A 5am wake up call got us ready for the hop over to Sweden. It started with quite a bit more wind than expected, but settled down to 12-15 kts on the beam for most of the day. Perfect sailing until the wind piped up, the waves got uncomfy and…
After 3 days in Seglinge we woke up to some glorious sunshine and a perfect Skärgard day. Easy 25 miles to Möholm where we spent the afternoon chilling on Akka. Most memorable were a couple of sea-eagles who were working on becoming a couple.
It has been 3 days on Seglinge in grey, rainy and windy weather and we were stuck inside Akka for most of the time. Tashi and especially Michi got somewhat restless on day 3.
We are actually having an OK time on Akka, despite the cold and nasty weather outside. Tashi amd Michi used the rain-free morning for some cycling and shopping. In the afternoon we played cards, listened to music, did some cooking. In the evening we had movie night. So glad to…
The front has reached us, but we are only seeing about 50% of the wind the forecast predicts. Seglinge harbour was a good choice, even though there is not much to do in this kind of weather. Tashi and Michi did a little shopping and tried to find the Seglinge…
Our plan to reach Ramsmora by Monday is not working out. A weather front is coming from the north and we will be in Seglinge for 3 days. As we arrived in the harbour, we made fast alongside a big jetty, thinking that it was a good spot. We even…
As there is a storm moving south, we wanted to reach Seglinge in good time. We got up at 6am and were off in a glorious moning atmosphere. Good wind and various snacks took us to Seglinge where we made fast at 3 o’clock.
I have been here before, but it is still scary. A very tiny entry, marked by a cardinal buoy, that marks a safe passage that is 2,4 m deep. As the depth soundser counts down, I always question my cardinal buoys. YBY is west, YBY is west, YBY is west.
