Hacking up to Havtensundet

After another day’s enforced inactivity in Smögen (strong winds once again!), we finally headed north again today. After a really enjoyable few days of socialising, seaweed foraging, walking in the rain (ok that wasn’t quite so enjoyable!) and more socialising,

Snorkelling in Smögen

Today was different. The weather wasn’t different (still windy, though there was a bit of sun!), but the day’s activity was. Louise had persuaded us all to take part in a foraging day, but being sailors, this foraging had to

Lunging across to Lyr

With a breezy day forecast we decided to have a relaxing day in Åstol and so didn’t head off again until this morning and then just a short run north. We want to stay fairly close around Tjörn as Alex

Admiring Åstol again

After a day of looking around Gothenburg, including a trip to the chandlery on the tram, we decided to head back north again. The wind has remained resolutely in the north and we want to go north, so we knew
