Kedging to Källö Knippla

While we waited for the overnight northerly blow to go through, we went for a walk around Marstrand. It is a beautiful island and the walk took us around much of the shore. We went past the old bath house

Monitoring Marstrand

A short run today and a relaxed start. We decided to head across to Marstrand – visible across the water from Åstol. The total trip was 3 miles, so hardly strenuous! In Marstrand we moored on one of the visitor’s

Hauling around Härmanö

We decided to stay for the day at Gullholmen. A grey start to the day made it more suitable for walking than sailing, so we decided to walk around the island. Gullholmen is at the northern end of Härmanö and

Vindö Marin started as a boatbuilder in 1926 adopting their approach from Nötesund’s Shipyard, which started building boats on Vindön Island in 1926. The building of boats continued through to the 1970s when their distinctive varnished topsides boats became very

Lolloping to Lysekil

First thing this morning was taken up with various jobs. While we still had the car (until Vindö Marin put it back in one of their boat sheds again!), we did a quick shop in the ICA at Henån. We

Sailing on a different tack

We headed off from our buoy at Rörbäcke Kile first thing in the morning heading for Vindö Marin to sort out Charmary ready for the delivery crew. With some fairly strong gusts coming through we decided to hoist just the
