Jonny just spent a week with Victoria walking the Alpa-Adria-trail and now I have him for a week on Akka. I find it funny that we share our brother-in-law this way. I am so looking forward to showing him the islands with the little red houses.
I was on my way from Ingmarsö to Stockholm by ferry boat to pick up my brother in law, when I saw the forecast. Gusts of 23 m/s! That is 44 knots of wind! I am not sure what happened in the end. When we travelled back by ferry, we…
I have been here on Ingmarsö a few times. On our very first sailing holiday, we went to the wrong harbour and were trapped there by strong winds for a few days. Many lovely, long walks are stil in my memory. And it ist still a great place to visit.
My foot ist still recovering and I am keeping it slow for the moment. And, more importantly, I am enjoying the company of Abigail. So nice to anchor side-to-side and to have visits from boat to boat. I have kept myself busy today with work-work, boat DIY, kayaking, cooking and…

I have to rest my foot for a few days and I am here at Vaxholm to do exactly that. Yesterday, the weather was lovely and I took the opportunity to lie in the sun and “rest my foot”. But I also started on my to-do list. Number one was…
Yesterday was a bit of downer – the engine cutting out, my foot getting worse, the weather not up to my Swedisch-standards. But today all was sorted. First; I found a loose screw on the fuel inlet hose and that seems to have sorted out the diesel. I think. I…
I love it, especially since yours truly missed it last year by getting the day of the week wrong!
I left Ramsmora this morning and all was well, when suddenly the engine (good old faithful) died on me. Bit of a strange feeling, especially because I had no sails up the time and was basically just drifting along. I started the engine and all was well for another 20…
