Anja and Werner arrived the day before yesterday. After having arranged by telephone that they would come to the boat, we bumped into each other only 10 minutes later – what a coincidence! We did the shopping together on Thursday afternoon and left Stockholm at about 11am. Quite a bit…
I missed the thunderstorm a few days ago but today I was right in the middle of it. I left relatively late as I had to do some real work and it was already 11:30 by the time i lifted up the anchor. I set the genoa and was on my…
I measured the temperature today. That’s water temperature by the way. Other than that, not much happened today – what do you expect in that heat 🙂
A boat which had problems with its daggerboard left yesterday afternoon with a temporary fix to the dropped board (lots of ropes underneath) and headed back to Stockholm. They forgot the barbecue on Björkskär. I knew the skipper had other worries and would not come back to get it. So…
Away, away. I left Björkskär very early this morning. The little episode yesterday was enough and the situation this morning looked bleak. I was moored against a rock, facing south – perfect for the forecast but totally wrong for the actual wind. It was only a light breeze from the north…
I left relatively late today as I was only planning to go to Björkskär which is about 6-7 miles further south. It was an easy single tack and I arrived after about 2 hours. I found a nice spot facing south (forecast is that the wind will be from the…
Last night I went to the cinema again. This time I went prepared with a mat to sit on, 2 cans of beer and some popcorn. Nice show again.
I left this morning at about 9:30 pm as I knew the wind would only start late. I motored out of Rödlöga and managed the tricky bits when the sea was a sheet of glass. I thought that since there is no wind, let’s keep motoring. Usually you can tell…
I made my way to Rödlöga today which is already a part of the outer archipelago. It was quite late when I got to the nature harbour and I could hardly believe my eyes. I expected it to be a small bay with space for a few boats but I…
I made my way to Arholma, the northern end of the archipelago this morning, very nice! It was not very far and since there was no wind at all in the morning, I decided to motor slowly up the 6 miles or so. I left at 7 am and it was…
