49 years Akka
Happy birthday Akka! She has turned 49 and I am so glad to be able to celebrate the birthday at least for a few weeks. Here she is “at home” at Gällno – still going strong before the big one next year.

Bye-bye
This time it was an easy bye-bye for me, as Margit and Christian will do the lay-up procedure. All I had to do was to pack my bags and catch the train. I must say, very convenient.
Help with some tricky work
I started to re-upholster the ceiling on Akka last year and only managed half of the ceiling in the saloon. It is really tricky work and you need actually 3 pairs of hands to hold everything in place before you can re-install all the panels again. I was therefore EXTREMELY…
People on board
Apart from a week in June, I have been on my own for 2 months now. A novel experience for me and one that I dreaded, as I don’t like the solitude so much. In the end, it was actually easier than expected. My initial work-frenzy and the trip up…
A trip to Höga Kusten
I got to Vaxholm and finished my summer’s journey. It was a fantastic month going to Höga Kusten, to visit Eija and Peter in Finland and to do some longer-legs than I would in the archipelago. I visited many new ports and anchorages and I can truly recommend the tour.…
Back home
I have arrived in my “home-waters” again. It has been a fantastic journey, but it feels good to be back. Good timing too, as my friends will come next Tuesday to take-over Akka for a month. The journey from Rödhamn was very boring to begin with, exciting in the middle…
Rödhamn – full
Quite finny really, but Rödhamn ist absolutely fill. So full in fact, that about 10+ boats are anchoring. I counted over 60 sailing boats and about 20-30 motorboats. I guess it has to do with the change over of holiday times. The Swedes and Finns have to get back to…
Vandirngsled
I like Seglinge. I don’t think I have to say any more.
Seglinge again
I choose my destination “Seglinge” for today for 2 reasons. The “Seglinge walk” and the sale of nice tea-towels. I have to report, that I did not achieve either of these goals. After a long and wonderful sailing day through half of the Aaland archipelago I was very tired and…
Uüiskaupinki – Isokari
A beautiful sailing day. All day long about 10 – 15 kts of wind and blue skies – just fantastic. A small harbour on Isokari, that even offers a local beer!
