Following wind for the whole voyage. Wind dropped for a couple of hours and boat speed down to 1.2 knts A good breeze to finish. Moored to SXK buoy in Stugvik natural harbour, the outharbour for St Anna circle of SXK.

Quiet start, 2 hours under engine, then a gentle sail with a following wind. Picked up SXK buoy for the night

Started slow but ended with a great sail downwind with gusts to 20knts. Really good sailing the Kalmarsund, usually an engine job. Not called the diesel ditch for nothing. Staying 3 nights here moored alongside TC, so large G &T's are in order.

Great sail today, much better than the forecast suggested. 30+ miles and anchored behind Ornö. Yhe Germans beat us to the SXK buoy Mist set in as we anchored.

Winds light and variable 1hour sailing then engine the rest of the way. Hano quiet with choice of berth.

Bit of a delivery trip today. Wind light and dead astern so engine on and head for Sweden at 7.5 knts. Ystad payment has changed to Tallyweb. Electric a bit confusing, outlet number on the post, but all OK £43 for 13m boat for 2 nights, showers and electric inc.

Short trip today. Nice sail for the last 12 miles Klintholm quiet only about a dpzen boats in today. Trying to eye slice braid on braid, failing so far!

Quiet winds today all on the nose. Motored the whole distance. Berthed in old fishing harbour.
