Swedish weather
It was sunny, then cloudy, then sunny, the thundery, then windy, then rainy, then cloudy, then sunny. It always surprises me how the weather can change so suddenly and drastically up here.

Good morning Sweden
I just got up to this view. I love those tranquil sea moments.
Säck
A little natural harbour in the inner archipelago. A perfect place for taking the canoe out for an evening spin. Absolutely fantastic addition to the Akka family!
A new toy
Nils is lovely! Nils is really great! Ok, he gets in the way occasionally (as in always) and rowing him is OK for short stretches (e.g. from Boat to shore) but to explore the skerries he is not suited at all. So, a new toy has made it onto Akka.…
