Freediving, Stora Vika Kalkbrott, June 27th

Casual freediving with friends at Stora Vika in the former limestone quarry now turned lake. Warm water at the surface but a lot cooler below 10 meters. Had a minor incident (last clip), got tangled in the weighted buoy line, but sorted it quickly so no big deal. I’ll be back!

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, Gotska Sandön, July 21st-23rd

For the return leg from Öland I was joined by Tommy who came by bus to Byxelkrok. We headed off in the early morning July 21st and motored our way straight into the wind all the way to Visby, Gotland. Some sight-seeing & shopping in this beautiful medieval city before calling it a fairly early night. On the 22nd, we cast off towards Gotska Sandön. The whole sea was completely becalmed, so again we motored our way all across to the island in the middle of the Baltic Sea. Plenty of algae but that's pretty common for the season and this type of weather. Gotska Sandön did not disappoint, a true gem with endless beaches and untouched forests. We did a lengthy hike and saw some 22 Grey Seals at the colony on the northern side of the island. On the 23rd, we continued onwards to Nynäshamn, gradually the wind picked up so we could sail the last 3/4 of the way. Great sailing adventure!

Nordic Skating, Nynäsviken-Vällingen-Långsjön, Dec 3rd 2016

Great Sunday on ice.. Started off with Nynäsviken, inner archipelago premier for the season, then we drove north-west to Vällingen, where the ice was a tad too thin for comfort.. We wrapped up the day on Långsjön, where the surface sang and cracked in a cheerful way..

Kayaking, Nynäshamn, 11th-12th of Sept.







Kayaking with the lady in the Nynäshamn archipelago.. We started on Saturday southbound from Lövhagen, through the Draget channel and then down to Korsudden where we had lunch.. After rounding Långsudden, we turned north with nice tail winds up to Yttre Gården where we camped for the night.. In the Sunday morning, our only launch point out from the beach offered challenging breaking waves.. We continued north with lunch close to Äspskär and finally turned back south at Örnäsudden via the Nynäshamn harbour area to the starting point..
