Gräsö, SE from Öregrund. Pos: 60 19.8 / 018 30.1

Anchored in a bay with no less the five other sailboats. Obviously a good place to anchor up for the night. Today has been the longest day so far, started before 7, covered 59,4 nm in 11 hours. Good sailing wind from the north, we were heading SSE, for modt of the day, but a good deal sharp seas, which was tiring, but otherwise OK. Four other sailboats behind, which didn’t catch up until In the gradually narrowing channel into Öresund, when the wind gradually dropped to motoring for the last hour. Lovely bay this, promises to be a quiet night. 

Tomorrow further SE, back to the outer reaches of the Stockholm archipelago, and a known bay with a bouy. Unfortunately the forecast is for S to SW gentle winds, so it’ll probably be a motor/sailing day. We’ll see. 

Dinnertime now, kl 7, sausages ready to be golden black. All’s well, from a weary, but contented, SailorJohn
