A fast if rolly passage downwind in 18 - 20 knts. Unfortunately I aimed for the wrong slot so had to motor for about half mile against the wind to get to the correct one. Once in, very pleasant in the anchorage, quite busy.

15 mile motor and sail to Grisslehamn East. Nice well protected harbour with alongside berth.

A short trip today after emptying black water tank, filling diesel and buying gas. Gentle winds today after 3 days of strong Nly. A very pleasent 5 days in Oregrund.

Short trip to Oregrund. We will be here until Monday. Shopping, washing windy weather over the weekend.

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.

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.

Great trip, 43 miles mostly sailing. Weather very changable, wond from 3 to 25 knts and a few rain showers SLX buoy, Skuum the dutchman on another SXK buoy

After waiting 4 days for the strong to moderate set off for Lill Lubban, an SXK outharbour. Good sailing with wind at 120. We have only to average 7 miles per day to get is to Nynashamn in time tp collect Scott hence the low milage today.
