Lost in space

We left Stora Nassa on a cloudy morning, and more or less got out of the islands before mist set in... Sometimes a boat would appear, or a skerry, but mostly we sailed in a circle of grey keeping track on the GPS.
As luck would have it though, the mist broke as we reached the shipping lane past Sandhamn, and we completed the trip in bright sunshine on the last of the day's breeze..

Night life

Once the sun has dipped, and dinner gone the way of all things it's time to cosy up in the cabin with coffee and some good chocolate...and maybe a little whisky :)
The oil lamp was this year's investment - scoring highly on cosiness factor, and saving on the battery.

Kallskär...

We have arrived... A fine fast reach past Möja and on across open water liberally scattered with rocks and lighthouses to Kallskär.
Now we are here in the outer Archipelago... With the grill on and salmon sizzling :)

Mirror Finish

We started the day on Vindalsö under grey cloud with a fresh westerly, and ended up here at Grisselholm after motoring across Kanholmsfjarden.
The sun is setting, and the water is like a mirror...

Simple sailing

A day trip in the archipelago... but today I've swapped Mata Hari for Nörve, a rowing boat with spritsail... but no rudder! if you don't count a steering oar
- though it steers quite nicely just heeling the right way :)

Midsommar by sea

Six hours by boat; sun, showers, squalls, hailstones and becalmed. Interesting sailing...
