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..

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!

Freediving, Comino, June 17th
Rented a small powerboat and headed with some friends from St Julians up to Comino, the little Island between Malta & Gozo, well known for the Blue Lagoon. Did some lazy snorkeling & freediving, pretty tired from the night before, and the sea was too choppy for a visit to the P-31. But nice as always to be out and enjoy the great weather.

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, Stora Risten, May 21st-22nd
Pre-summer sailing with the lady, Saturday 21st-22nd. Anchoring for the night at a little island next to Stora Risten.. Shifting winds, mostly from south, partially cloudy on Saturday but in the evening it cleared up and the archipelago was magically beautiful.. Some exploration with the little dinghy on Sunday morning, before heading back south via Korsskären and over Singöfjärden..

Sailing in Roslagen, 4th-6th of July
A three day sailing trip with the old crew from Jämtland.. Hans, Martin, Markus and Daniel dropped in late on Thursday night so we slept in the boat in the harbor.. Friday morning we cast off and sailed and motor-sailed north through the Roslagen archipelago.. A lunch-break at Korsskäret and then we continued up to Tålingen where we anchored for the night.. Saturday offered great sailing conditions with 5-7m/s and we made good spead back south and then turned north-west up in the channel towards Öregrund.. We anchored at Tjärsholmen, shallow waters but no incidents.. On Sunday we motored back towards Herräng and we arrived at the harbor at around 4.30 pm.. In all, a great weekend!
