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, Roslagen, May 18th-20th

Summer weather in May, trying out new main sail, lazy bag, and fixing and tweaking for the season.. stops at Slätön, Gåssten, Brännäset.. BBQ dinner.. Good times..

Sailing, Roslagen, May 12th-13th

Sailing with Carin to Furusund, where we met up with friends for some BBQ and fun in the pre-summer.. Great weather, a lot of motoring..

Sailing, Roslagen, June 6th

Day-sailing with my new Adagio 27 from home harbour to Brännäset. Initially in the morning very light winds, on the way back in the late afternoon a fresh breeze with some gusts. As I'm still getting to know her, I settled with using the Genua only. Happy with the performance, up to 5 knots close-hauled without main sail is pretty good. After some calibration of the tiller pilot that also worked to satisfaction.

Sailing, Herräng-Öregrund, May 19th-21st

Friday night to Sunday afternoon cruising in Roslagen with my lady..  We anchored on Friday night in Brännäset, and on Saturday we sailed on towards Öregrund for diesel, water and a great lunch.. Saturday afternoon we anchored at Alnön, another nice spot.. Just need to calibrate the tiller pilot, figure out some things with the electronics, and then I'm all set for longer adventures..

Sailing, Roslagen, May 13th-14th

First solo-sailing with my Adagio 27, combining nice relaxation with some tweaks and getting to know the boat after the hectic transport sailing.. Spent the night at Brännäset and enjoyed the doghouse while motoring home in the rain without any wind.. Managed to manouver the boat properly into my harbour slip this time without hassle, starting to get used to the bigger size and full keel..

Nordic Skating, Roslagen, Feb 12th

Morning session with Ricky, first proper run in the archipelago for the season.. We headed off from Hargshamn with a calm wind, sunshine and a blue sky.. Most of the ice was quite thick, enforced by the cold temperature the last 2 days..

Nordic Skating, Vällen & Ekoln, Jan 21st

Not as great as last weekend on Båven, but still a very nice morning. Joined by my brother, we started off on Northern Vällen, where the ice was half-decent but still enjoyable. After that, we drove to Ryssvägen and took a lap north on Ekoln with a bit smoother ice. Total distance for the day was 38 kilometres.

iSUP, Kolmoraån, Oct 1st

Got up at 0530 to meet up with Emil and we headed in two cars to northern Roslagen for some paddle boarding.. Starting at Vällen lake, we paddled north to the Kolmoraån and then glided downstream through beautiful forrest wilderness.. We exited Kolmoraån at Aspdalssjön where I wrapped up the session with an unplanned swim, but that didn't matter much with the drysuit..

Sailing to Måssten, August 20th-21st

After the nightwatch shift on the boat club, me and the lady headed off on Saturday morning to Måssten, a nice island east of Singö.. It used to be a military base back in the days of the cold war era, with plenty of remains still well visible.. The rocky island offers diverse nature and many stunning views.. 

Sailing, Roslagen, August 12th-14th

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

Sailing, Roslagen, July 2nd-3rd

Sailing first weekend of July, leaving Herräng at around 11, heading north-west to Fälön where we stopped for a few hours with a nice lunch on the BBQ with marinated ribs, and a siesta.. We woke up to stronger winds bouncing the boat, so we continued north-west to Askö where we found a sheltered inlet in company of a few other boats.. Some red wine, more meat for dinner and going for a litle excursion with the tiny inflatable dinghy.. Tacking south on Sunday via Brännäset, and finishing the weekend by ripping the genoa, so went to the sailmaker in a hurry Monday to get it repaired before the summer vacation.. 

Sailing, Roslagen, May 5th-8th

Four days of great single-handed sailing with my Bellona 23, a small yacht from the 70's.. Quite sunny and warm for this early in the season with a steady high-pressure.. Covered some 160 kilometers in mostly light winds and I anchored in some really nice inlets; Lidön, Villösan & Brännäset.. 

Sailing in Roslagen - Sept 26th-27th

Final sailing weekend for the year.. At the harbour club, the first batch of boats were lifted out of the water while I headed out north-west in a light breeze.. I arrived at Alnön a couple of hours later for a lazy afternoon in a nice sheltered cove.. Some food and movies and then a good nights sleep.. Sunday offered a fresh breeze from north-west so I made good pace with the genoa taking in the nice scenery in a pretty desolate archipelago..

Sailing, Uddhamn-Ornö, July 27th-Aug 1st

6 days of single-handed sailing through some of the most scenic areas of the the vast Stockholm archipelago.. Starting from Uddhamn, heading south through Väddö channel, Blidö, Möja, Runmarö.. Turning point was around Ornö where I took a more eastern route in the outer archipelagoes, passing Bullerö, Sandhamn, Nassa, Norrpada and Söderarm before coming back north through the Väddö channel again.. Shifting weather with sun, clouds and rain, winds from 2-10 m/s.. Total distance covered was 355 kilometers.. Great week!

Sailing, Roslagen, June 27th-28th

Weekend cruising in the Roslagen archipelago with the lady.. First real summer weather has finally arrived! Looking forward to the holiday for longer trips.. We headed out on Saturday afternoon the 27th and spent the night at Tjärsholmen, on Sunday we made a long lunch stop at Brännäset before heading back south in a fresh breeze..

Sailing, Herräng-Grisslehamn, June 14th

A short single-handed sail on a Sunday night, heading from Herräng to Grisslehamn and back.. Grey skies and fairly chilly for the season, but still a nice way to end the weekend..

Sailing, Roslagen, May 16th

First sailing of the 2015 season.. After sorting out the new roller furler and doing some final adjustments, finally time to head out for a short test run.. Everything worked nicely, and we enjoyed a light breeze under clear blue skies..

XC-Skating, Gisslaren & Vällen, Jan 4th

Fantastic XC-skating on clear ice in early January.. Me, Edward and Magnus headed to the lakes Gisslaren and Southern and Northern Vällen in Uppland, Roslagen.. In conditions like this few sports can match.. Happy day!

Sailing, Roslagen, September 6th-8th

Sunny September sailing with colleagues from work and with the lady.. This time of the year the nights and mornings are fairly chilly, causing fog to roll in from the open sea.. It lifts after some hours of sun though and during the days temperature rose to around 20 C.. We anchored for the night at  a great spot on the north-western side of Fälön, very scenic and good protection from easterly winds..
