Snickare
Today was day at the joinery. I made a shelf and garbage bin for the heads. It took me ages but I am quite pleased with the results.

A gentle sail to a spectacular sunrise
There was a not so goo forecast and we decided to find a nice spot just around the corner from Möja. We had a very pleasant afternoon but the rain came much later than predicted. Still a nice day. But the sunrise was cool.
Jobs done
I have not been idle during my time in Vaxholm! I have managed to get a lot of work-work and boat-work done. Sure, a lot less boat-work than planned, but still a few improvements made it. First there was the re-cabling of the mast and the installation of new deck-…
Pretty Möja
After a disaster morning – gas ran out and I had no coffee – we sailed to beautiful Möja. And what a perfect sailing it was. After a cloudy and cold morning the weather cleared up during midday and we sailed under reefed genoa with 6+ knots to our destination…
Off we go
After 2 weeks at Vaxholm, it was finally time to go. I managed to get a lot of work-work done and tinkered on Akka here and there. All in all it had a very nice time and Maria and Sophia helped from the harbour office helped me almost daily with…

Finally afloat
Akka was put into the water and the event was marked by me being on a call. I hope this is not setting the scenes for the summer 2018, but I have a lot of work going on at the moment and I was not even able to take the…
Waiting and working
Nothing left to do on Akka, so I am dammed to wait for the lift in and do some real work. Which is good really as there are a number of projects in the air that I need to get sorted in the next 3 weeks. This means that a…
Mast work
Today was dedicated to the mast. I installed a new steaming and floodlight and as work on boats go, I was very pleased with myself after 6 hours. No kidding. Getting the cables in took ages, finding the screws was tedious, drilling the holes into the mast was scary and…
Back home
I am back on Akka and am finding my place again. It feels good to be back and I have a real sense of home-coming. Sweden has become a very special place for me as this is my 10th sailing holiday and with my fifth year on Akka. Another long summer…
