I am anchoring in a spot of Sweden that you normally find only on postcards or in picture books. There was very little wind today, but the sun was up and that was all that mattered. Finally, a sunny day under sail. It did not last all afternoon athough. But…
The city centre of Nynäshamn has been updated in the 70s and it still shows. 🙁 But it has a nice part too! Just behind the guest-harbour seems to be Nobb-hill. It quite clearly is the posh part with loads of lovely houses in grand gardens,
I got the replacement oars for Nils and all is well again.
There was much less rain than expected and we even had some sun and blue patches of sky. But still a a grey but attractive day. I did not get Nils’s oar however 🙂
What awful weather we are having this year. OK, there are sunny days in between, but after last weeks storm, we have now 4 rainy days coming up. 🙁 I have come to the artipleag modern art museum to hide out for one day. There is currently an excellent exhibition…

We tried to get a replacemnet oar for Nils, but failed, as the chandler in Kommendörsgatan no longer exists. We then had breakfast and walked back to the harbour to move Akka for the last night. After…

A picture book sailing day got us to Lilla Nassa. It was a bit of a struggle to get us properly moored, as the neighbours were unusually uncooperative, but we managed it end, despite them unsetting our anchor when they suddenly left while we were on a little walk. There…
It was the first day for Jonny on the archipelago and we hit gold. Easy sailing from Ingmarsö to Melskären and a lovely bay that offered great BBQ-opportunities.
