A long journey to Visby. The forecast predicted more light winds from the south. And a southerly when going south, is a pain in the south-side. So, as we pootled along nicely amongst the islands, we had to make a choice – engine on and motor through some long and…
Ah yes, and then there was this.
What awaits us on our arrival? Four pine martens! Funny creatures that were not afraid of us at all. We also saw the swimming across to another island.
A short sail (15 nm) to Ringsön. It was actually perfect weather but the forecast predicted rain in the afternoon. So we only did a short run and anchored in a lovely bay on Ringsön. Very popular bay it is too. The rainy afternoon was a good time to install…

Or only guest this year has left. Fizz was with us for 10 days and it was a pleasure showing here the archipelago. The Swedish summer presented itself for her in a warm/hot sunny style and I hope she enjoyed here stay on Akka as much as we did. Bye…
We loved Nattarö and decided to do only a little sail around the island and to anchor in the same spot again. And we were rewarded with another beautiful sunset.

A very different island with lots of sandy beaches. It feels strange to walk through the forest on sand rather than granite. A special holiday flair surrounds this one – we like. We did not join the other est. 50-100 boats and go to the north bay, but anchored all…
A very nice sail from Dalarö to Utö (not very far though) and a lazy afternoon onboard Akka. After that a nice dinner at Utö Vardshus to celebrate my summer-birthday 🙂
