Stora Vippholmen. SXK bøye, 57 32.2 / 016 41.9 

No ‘net signal here. Post it tomorrow. 

Plenty wind today, sailable WSW for several hours before it veered gradually before we got near Vestervik and came on the nose again, and so on with the trusty engine. Lots of boats going north and enjoying the sailing, including this one: Splendid sight, majestically gently speed, and waving others past with smiles. 

 
The coming front waited until we were securely attached to the buoy before the rain came at about three o’clock, after which nine other boats crept into the bay and tied up to a convenient rock. Rain stopped later and out came the barbeque grills, wafting golden black aromas across the water. 

Tuesday: very grey morning. It rained more during the night, but not enough to disturb sleep. Forecast for today is for more southerly winds, so we have made plans A, B and C, depending on the state of the rain, waves and resulting discomfort. Furthest is Sandvik, on Öland, a favourite stop. We’ll see.
