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, June 4th-6th

An extended weekend due to public holiday, we headed out Saturday morning for 3 days of sailing.. With a fresh breeze touching gale from North we first headed down through Väddö channel, and anchored in Österhamn, Lidön for the first night.. On Sunday, we took a sheltered course east over to Gisslingsö where we arrived at noon in the inlet south of Betsebergen.. A nice walk through the woods to stretch the legs, and then some hotdogs on the BBQ.. More lazying about and a second meat BBQ for dinner.. Monday morning, the northerly winds faded away and changed to calm and then a southernly breeze, perfect timing as we were heading back north through the Väddö channel again.. Great sailing season so far, with summer just around the corner!
