No wind today and we are trying to get to Oregrund before some big winds come in, hence 7 hours on engine. Third choice of stop, a buoy free in Fagelsund but decided to carry on to Slada Hamn. Unfortunately the SXK buoy was taken and the anchor would not set well. Very stoney ground. Carried on through an interesting channel amonst all the rocks to get here. Good holding here and a little closer to Oregrund.

Lämnade Utö efter ett par fina dagar med Ola med familj. Ätit gott och umgåtts med Ludde Lilly Gurra Bella Maja Danne Tina. Sista kvällen kom Kalle Åsa och Stefan. Oslagbar vid alla till fällen utom på Bykrogen. Den var under all kritik. Hamnade på Ringsjön efter en fantastik segling. 3,5 - 5 ms och ingen sjö. Tyvärr en grundstötning på vägen in till svajplatsen. Badat i 22,5gr och kollat roder och det lilla som gick att se ner till kölen. En hel del alger. Blev lite snabb mat råstekt potatis och korv. Hoppas det blir en lugn svalnatt med ankare, den första har tidigare bara svajat vid boj.

Weather and passage similar to yesterday in all respects.

Getting ready to leave Hudiksvall after 3 enjoyable nights, the wind was NW 10knts, as soon as we cast off it dropped to 2, from all directions. So we motored all the way here and picked up the SXK buoy in 10 knts! Beautiful spot sheltered from most directions and now the wind has dropped and gone SE.

Another blue sky, hot day and again with a northerly wind (upwind) so more motoring through the narrow channels . Lots of other boats going both ways. Today’s passage took us into the Santa Anna National Park area of the East coast archipelago.

Quite windy today but again from the North and on the nose so we motored to avoid having to tack between all the rocks. Also a lot more boats to avoid today. Nearly everyone else heading our way was motoring too while those going south were having a lovely straight line sail under their jibs.
