25th to 26th June 2017 Ingmarso and Galno .

Midsummer day is traditionally reserved for tending hangovers. We had no such problem but preferred to stay in Ingmarso because the weather was poor. The day was treated as a Sunday by the local shop which opened at Midday. We took life easily except for Heather who went off walking.
Monday May 26th
We decided to leave Ingmarso  for Grinda as part of a journey back to Stockholm The weather was not very good and Stockholm more interesting. In the cold weather we had a an early but warming lunch of goulash soup and set off under motor afterwards. It was dry but dull. with heavy clouds threatening.
We made a detour to visit Paradiset (59N28.5,18E48.5), one of our favourite anchorages and very beautiful. Its beauty  has been somewhat marred by the addtion of a much larger and obtrusive landing stage with electricity supplies so it feels more like a commercial guest harbour.
We then turned west and passed close to Ladna, noting with some satisfaction that we had escaped the rain falling to our north. Retribution was swift with an intense cold shower descending on us in a narrow passage between Ladna and Ladnaon. This dampened our ambition to proceed to Grinda and to anchor overnight in Gallno at 59N26,18E39. We were upset to find three other boats there already and even an abandoned floating sauna in one corner. Even so it is a very beautiful and well sheltered place with no buildings visible, just fir and silver birch trees with the appropriate amounts of rock. The weather improved too. We anchored, set the steadying sail and sat down to eat and drink very happy with the scenery.
