Sailing Around Åland, July-August 2018


Sailing singlehanded from Herräng a lap around Åland in varied conditions.. First afternoon I headed up to Brännäset, and early in the morning I made my way across Ålands Hav, passing Hellmansundet.. I continued clock-wise on the northern side of the group of islands, mostly motoring.. The second day the wind gradually started to pick up, in the late afternoon reaching gale force gusts at times.. I stayed in Käringsund for 2 nights, doing some maintenance work and relaxing and we got some proper thunder showers the last night.. On my way back to the Roslagen archipelago on the Swedish side, I past a grey seal colony and Märket, a rocky island with a lighthouse marking the boarder between the countries.. 

Sailing Byxelkrok to Herräng July 2018


Sailing from Byxelkrok in northern Öland, first leg singlehanded up through the St Anna & Gryt archipelago, past Landsort to Nynäshamn. There Tommy joined and we had a great sail up north via Stora Nassa & Söderarm and finally Väddö channel and back to Herräng..

Sailing to Öland - July 2018


Sailing from Herräng to Byxelkrok on Öland in July 2018 with the lady in my Adagio 27 . Sunny warm weather, a lot of swimming to cool down, a lot of motoring. As usual, some highlights were Söderarm, Nåttaröfladen, Draget channel and the St Anna & Gryt archipelago. Great trip!
