A beautiful sunset at about 10 pm last night, taken from the back deck of the boat.

Yesterday sailing was great, blowing about 10 knots, and we made it up Rödlöga before deciding to stay nearby on an islet next to Storskäret. Today, the wind was blowing 15-20 knots with choppy seas, and sailing was a challenge but we eventually made it back to our anchoring spot from a few days ago on Norrö.

Below are some pictures of the last few days.

I haven’t updated the route we took yet, but you can find Storskäret here.

Johanna, Naomi, her friend Leah, Jaxon, and I are sailing this week (July 27 – Aug 2) in the archipelago between Stockholm and the Baltic sea on a Delphia 28 GT. The Swedish ideal of tying up to an unmarked (and for me unknown) rock cliff in just a meter or two of water takes some nerve, but so far so good.

I’m tracking the trip on Google Maps, if you’re interested.
