I promise this will be my last photodump post for a while - my cellphone camera got lost on the sea. Dannemark-Ulön We slept by anchor just south of Ulön-Dannemark. Here is a seamap with our position:

Here is a seamap with Hermanö/Gullhomen in the south of the map, and Lysekil in north. On the way one passes Islandsberg, I forgot to take a photo, but this is considered to be one of the rough spots on

After Kyrkesund (ref my previous post), the next settlement is Mollösund (sea map, Swedish Wikipedia). Mollösund is both the name of the sound and the name of the village to the starboard - which is on

We were sailing "E6" north from Gothenburg this weekend. In my previous post I covered our quick stop at Marstrand. After Marstrand there is the crossing of Marstrandsfjorden, 2 nm with no protection

I haven't explored all the waterways in Gothenburg yet, but the most important ones beside Göta Elv are Stora Hamnkanalen and Vallgraven (the harbour channel and the moat). The channels and the river carve

This is a small channel south of Göteborg. There is no distance to be saved by taking this channel - it's totally a detour - but when going with the dhingy, it's very nice to get a break from all the waves

This time I've been doing a poor job on discarding photos - here is one day of sailing covered by 34 photos! What does the audience say, less is more, or more is better? :-) In my previous post, the van

I didn't do any photos on our journey from Anholt to Copenhagen, I did do some very few in Copenhagen ... well, let me just say that we enjoyed Copenhagen immensely. I had one crew member with me on the

This weekend we did a sailing trip, 103 nm. The first part of the journey is covered here, I did a careful study on the way to reaffirm that the earth is indeed globular (I think it is a bit important

Today we sailed quite efficiently, in my previous post we came from Larvik and crossed Skagerak/Kattegat in the direction of Gothenburg, today we entered "E6" at Marstrand, and then we stopped

We're now on the way from Helgeroa to Gothenburg. I got two crew members with me through some Norwegian forum "Mannskapsbørsen" that I found through Google. One of them was joining in the last

We just passed through this time, we didn't anchor up here, so the title is lying a bit. Anyway, Stavern is a great place to drop anchor (one just have to try to avoid the high-voltage cables in the area

There are four ways getting by car from southern Sweden (which is connected with the continental Europe by bridge) to the west of Norway, either around all of the Oslo Fjord and through Oslo, through the

Today we passed the island Hui, owned by Oslo municipality and (mostly) used as "feriekoloni" - a place working parents in Oslo can send their children for vacation during the school holidays.

Yesterday we came to Bolærene, that's three islands in the outer Oslo fjord, at the west side. All three islands were for roughly one hundred years owned and used by the military; it was turned over to

Sandspollen is a place I visit often if I'm going to or from Oslo - quite often just to sleep, sometimes we go bathing, sometimes we row in land there. By sail boat it's a short day journey from Oslo -

Today was a public holiday in Norway, so we spent the day at the sea, locally in the Bærum area just outside Oslo. Had some visitors with us, went to the nearest island (where I did a litterwalk the other

Finally, I did my first proper litterwalk. I've had a couple of #litterwalk postings earlier, but that was more "look at this weird things we found while skiing" than a proper litter walk. I'm

I sometimes like to see what I can turn into a gif. This is ending result of three pictures I designed. They were all originally done on my phone, using the silk paint app. The seagulls and waves I could

The "Bærum bassin" is a part of the Oslo fjord with quite many islands. Since the area is quite protected by the outermost islands, there is not so much circulation of the water masses there.
