Rain, rain, more rain.

Fog.

Visibility nearly zero.

Is this summer?

Check out this view:



This is where we stayed in June. No, not on that tiny island you can see. Behind the wall of white is the island of Ängsön, but in June it looked like this.

We sailed under trying conditions through the archipelago and through the narrow channel north of Utö and out onto Mysingen where the wind did a 180 degree shift and we powered along until we were about 5 nautical miles from home when the rain stopped, the sun came out (after all, it's always sunny in Nynäshamn!) and the wind died. Kaput. The water was still and so we started the engine and motored the last bit to our home pier.

Home.

Wonderful to be here in this miserable weather.

We are spending a few days here, then when the weather improves, heading out again. The birds are happy to be home flying around the apartment. The dog is happily leaving pee-mail on every post announcing her return and Lars-Göran rushed to the shop to buy ice-cream!

We have travelled over 550 nautical miles already this summer, so we are very happy with that and we have visited some beautiful places, so despite the recent weather woes, it has been a successful and enjoyable holiday break.
