Boating & Biking Adventures

Lerkil Gästhamn 🇸🇪

Back in the skerries of Sweden!

The upholstery job will take at least a week and this works perfectly with the forecasted gales going through bringing some strong winds.

Over a beer I have been told by Samy that this is a crazy popular area during summer peak season due to its vicinity to Gothenburg. Samy is not only operating the local restaurant but also the Gästhamn. He came out to take my lines upon arrival despite drizzling rain. Great service!

Besides some boat work I will find time to explore the area.

It will be an early night after four intensive days at sea.

Fair winds…

…I miss this already…

🇸🇪 Kullen Västra Lighthouse 🇸🇪

Soon this adventure will come to its end and I start to miss these moments already. New plans are buzzing around in the head.

A night under fire…

It was a night under fire and we could see the white, green and red sector at the same time.🧐 Must be one of the many attributes of Torekov, that you can berth that close to a lighthouse. Due to the fact that it was not flashing or blinking we got very decent sleep and are already off again to the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen.

To arrive in the right mood, Ulli, skipper SY Christina, shared a link with us. We are all set now! 😅

Fair winds…

Good Night !

…nice to be back…

We were in Torekov 2015 (long before this blog was born) and since then it has become one of our favorite marinas. The service level is excellent and the charm hard to beat. Next time we need to explore the skerry just opposite of the marina entrance, perhaps with our own kayak. I was told it‘s worth it.

Torekov – back in 🇸🇪

The wind was a far below expectations and therefore we fancied a short stop-over in Torekov/Sweden.

On the approach of this cute historical fishing harbour you need to pass Hallands Väderö, a nature reserve and the first skerry heading further North.

Reflexions

We have started some boat work to get the lady back into shape. Focus is mainly on cleaning and polishing, which was neglected over the last few month. Teak, GRP and stainless steel are our current focus. Perfect weather!

Fair winds…

Käringön again

We decided to hang around a bit longer here on Käringön, one of the skerries, which seems to offer all needed to wind down. We like it.

Fair winds…

Gullholmen for 24h

After a coffee with Lars from SY Ajite (a local HR38 under Swedish flag) we are now throwing the lines to move.

It shall be another sunny late summer day, probably the best time in the year to explore these cruising grounds.

Our final sunset in Ellös.
Starlink installed.

After three days at the Open Yard and Susan‘s arrival we have now left Ellös slowly heading South. We hope for some more good late summer weather to enjoy this remarkable archipelago a bit longer on our journey.
