Summer 2017
A harbour master in Estonia put it so eloquently by saying “This is a shit summer”! He was right actually. Having spent our summer holidays in Sweden for almost 10 years now, I think this was the coldest we ever had. We had a lot of sun but we did…
At the Banburys
After leaving Akka safely wrapped up in Ramsmora, we travelled by non-water transport to beautiful Sigtuna (“Where Sweden begins!”) to visit some former Bisambergski. Maria and Peter and their lovely children Philip and Ella treated us to a wonderful evening followed by a night in a hugely comfortable bed, and…
Wrapped up
Akka is out of the water and wrapped for the winter. I hope we prepared her well for the winter and that all goes well. We invested in some new tarpaulin and decided to have the mast off this year. This made the whole operation of wrapping mach easier and…
A special day
Unthinking planning made the lifting out of Akka also our 25th wedding anniversary. So, we will spend our special day wrapping Akka, cleaning everything and packing. As a special treat we will have 2 tins of chilli-con-carne for dinner! At least the day started with a beautiful and misty morning.
Vaxholm & Stockholm
Only a few more days to go now. At the one hand it is sad that we have to leave on the other hand we are also looking forward to the kids, a large bed, a normal toilet etc. etc. We are slowly getting Akka ready for the winter. Nils…
Vaxholm
Yours Truly is an idiot, a “Vollpfosten”, a complete plonker, … Well, you get the idea. After 2 1/2 months of sailing without any major or minor hiccups we came yesterday to our last port of call, Vaxholm. No wind, sun shine, an almost empty harbour, welcoming waves from the…
Sandhamn
We needed a washing machine and it is only a bunny-hop from Lilla Nassa to Sandhamn, so this is where we went. Sandhamn has a big guesthamn and it is said that it is a very posh place. This might be but it certainly has no washing machine. We staid…
Lilla Nassa
A windy stop over at Lilla Nassa! When we arrived it was about 6 Bft+ and it kept going throughout the night. We had a good space and had Akka on 4 land lines and the anchor and were safe & sound. The wind made it a rather cold and…
A tight spot
We went to Norrpada to anchor at a natural harbour. As we passed our designated bay we just passed it as we both thought that it can’t be right – way to small and too shallow. But no, it was Hallskär as we picked it out in the harbour guide.…
