Sailing my Adagio 27 from Herräng to Gotland and Öland and north through the Stockholm archipelago and finally crossing over to Åland and back. 2 crew changes and the final days single-handed. Varied weather going from cold and rain to heat-wave. Great trip!

Sailing Adagio 27 in Roslagen, June 8th-9th

Weekend sailing with Emil from Uddhamn to Öregrund and back, varied weather from 28C and light breeze up to gale force wind and heavy rain.. We enjoyed some great sailing and top class on the sausage BBQ’s.

Sailing, Herräng to Käringsund, May 17th-19th

Pre-summer sailing to Eckerö, Åland, and the lovely harbour of Käringsund. Very light winds across the sound and almost empty at arrival. A few beers, some hot dogs on the boat grill, motoring back on Sunday on a very calm sea..

Skating, Singöfjärden, Feb 23rd

Skating with Ricky on Singöfjärden in Roslagen on mostly great ice. We took a loop north up towards Brännäset where we met the open water, and then made our way south-west towards the Singö bridges, before heading back towards Uddhamn, Herräng. The trip was around 33 kilometers in casual pace. Spring is just around the corner!

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!

Sailing, Åland & Söderarm, July 29th-Aug 3rd

Time for the final longer trip I had planned for the holiday, again sailing single-handed. Saturday night I took the quick hop up to Brännäset where I lay over. Early Sunday morning, I turned East towards Eckerö, Åland. After a few hours I saw land again, and via Hellmanssundet I arrived at the beautiful harbor of Käringsund. I stayed there for two nights, doing some work on the boat, cycling with my Brompton and stocking up on fresh food. Tuesday morning I cast off heading south-west, straight against some bumpy waves, and spent a night at Villösan close to Arholma. On Wednesday I explored the gorgeous Söderarm archipelago with winds increasing in the afternoon.  Having spent the night in Österhamn, Lidö, I took a loop around Vätö on Thursday before heading north up through the Väddö channel and back to Herräng.

Sailing, Herräng to Öland, July 8th-15h

First part of this years summer cruise with my Adagio 27. We headed off from Herräng on July 8th and made our way south via Väddö Channel. Late in the afternoon, engine started to overheat, so had to make a stop at Kålö to try to fix it. Impeller had broken, but could not locate the missing wing in the hoses, so sailed to Ljusterö for assistance at the warf. All done Tuesday morning, and we continued south via Nåttaröfladen, Draget channel, Ringsön, Älö and accross Kalmarsund to Grankullavik.

Transport Sailing, Ekoln->Herräng, May 5th-7th

My Bellona 23 is sold, and I bought the next boat, an Adagio 27 in excellent condition.. It's a motorsailer-sailboat hybrid with a doghouse for nice coverage also i the sometimes harsh climate in Sweden.. On Friday evening me & the lady took delivery at Skarholmen, Uppsala, and started the long transport sail back to Herräng via 5 lifting bridges and 1 lock, Hammarbyslussen.. Everything went quite well including a fairly rough passage over a bay in gale force winds, except some circus-maneuvers in my harbour-twice the weight and long-keel takes some new skills for tight manouvers..

Sailing, Herräng to Öregrund, Sept. 11th

Sunday sailing with the Lady, sailing some 28 kilometers from Herräng to Öregrund where we took a lunch break in the marina restaurant.. Heading back the same way, with winds averaging 5-8 m/s but some challenging gusts reaching around 12-13 m/s.. Probably the last trip of a great sailing season!

Sailing, Herräng to Östhammar, Aug 28th

Sunday daysailing (or mostly motoring) west to the inner Roslagen archipelago with Östhammar as destination.. Their marina offered a decent pizza despite being last day before shutting down for the season..

First weekend after summer holiday, combining work on the boat with fixes, tweaks and upgrades with some casual sailing with nice sunset views..

Sailing, Öland to Herräng, July 20th-29th

Return cruise from Northern Öland to Herräng, Singöfjärden.. Covered a fair distance first 2 days, then slowed down as I passed Oxelösund.. In Nynäshamn I picked up Tommy for 2 days before continuing solo again from Stavsnäs.. Fantastic sailing through beautiful scenery with great summer weather..

Sailing, Herräng-Grisslehamn, June 14th

Sailing, Brännäset, 6th-7th of June

Headed out after work with the lady for a late start of the Swedish national day celebration.. Motored north-east to Brännäset where we stayed the night in the company of 3 other sailboats.. A lazy Saturday with sun, siesta and a few hours work on the boat, before heading south again under sail in a fresh breeze..

Sailing, Hargshamn, July 20th

After doing the nightwatch at the boatclub, me and Tommy headed out in the early Saturday morning before 7AM to enjoy a couple of hours sailing heading west towards Hargshamn.. Fairly windy, 8-10 m/s with gusts up towards 13 m/s meant sporty conditions..
