Twenty-four hours of sailing with Tommy in the archipelago of Håkansskären and Söderarm with my Adagio 27.. A few BBQ's, first swim of the year, and sunny weather with a nice breeze from east.. I sold the boat on Sunday, so nice way of saying goodbye to Sirun, many nice memories..

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, 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, Roslagen, May 5th-8th
