… know these pictures by heart now. Apologies! A short stop-over at Lilla Nassa where we were the (almost) only boat! The agenda as usual: a stroll to take the pictures of the little red houses, the harbour, the rocks and the protective birds. All great. But to top it,…
Skinnbroken/Björkskär is a special place and every time I come here, it is breathtakingly beautiful. This year we not only managed to see the rocks in glorious sunshine, but also got to see a fantastic sunset.
We are so lucky with the weather. Around 25 degrees every day and with occasional clouds to pass through to make it really picturesque. Yesterday we were particularly lucky, as the forecast predicted rain all afternoon and the thunder in the back seemed to confirm that. We made it into…
I have been quiet here on the blog, as I had such a good time with the arrivals – Angelika and Christian! After a semi-sight seeing day (Wasa museum) we went to Napoleonviken and had a great BBQ that did not start until 10pm. But light aplenty here, this did…

The first time I came to Norrtälje 7 years ago it was a hard sell. The weather was not so nice and the demolition of the huge storage silos was in progress between 7am and 7 pm. It was noisy, very noisy. The old town was pretty, but clouds and…
The genoa reefing played up yesterday. Actually, the skipper did, as he did not take care for the reefing line to be wound up tightly. As we started in light winds that would not have mattered but it got a little stronger during the day and the loose reefing line…
