On departing from Malma Kvarn full of good food and meeting friends, we set off south west to Nynashamn 58N54.0,17E56.8 mainly so we could buy more food and drink. We had a pleasnt early sail in gentle breezes but, as often happens on Myssingen, the wind strengthened and headed us so we had to put in a tack even when on motoer and main to get a sailable course. We stayed one night, had an excellent and unexpected Dagens Lunch at a restaurant I thought boring and expensive and left in the morning with relief..
We then sailed a mere 6 miles to Rassavikar 58N51.7, 17E52.4 where we stayed two nights in complete shelter more or less alone and surrounded by wildlife, trees and rocks - it was lovely. It was wet at times so we put up our plastic "shed" and then managed to scrape and oil the rest of the cockpit teak which now looks warm and glowing.
Our new Rocna 10 Kg. anchor set well and held while we moved round it as the wind changed.
This morning we pulled it up with some difficulty and set off through the archipelago surrounding Rassavikar to exit into Svardsfjarden and open water. We had a lovely jib only sail at up to 6 kts. south and west to the corner of a very long island inconveniently blocking the fjard. From here we sailed west on a closer and closer fetch and a westering wind to Savosundet 58N45.9, 17E28.3 and then southwest through tighter and tighter passages to Broken. Here 14 yachts have already arrived for Fridays festival including one from Germany and the weather has warmed up though it promises to be very nasty tomorrow.
