By now we were beginning to run short of water, fuel and fresh food so needed to resupply. Hence our decision to go to Nynashamn. There was also a slight potential problem of low water levels. The high atmospheric pressure had been pushing down levels for some time.
While raising the anchor which Kristin does, I was using the new deckwash system to clean the chain which it did very well. Unfortunately ///i turned it off before I lifted the anchor aboard so Kristin could not use it on the ancor. The first part of the trip, Fjardlang to The open stretch of Myssingen was very lovely and intricate but still troubled by the algal blooms. These persisted and worsened on Myssingen itself. We chugged into Nynashamn around 1300, got to the fuel pontoon and filled up with 66 litres of diesel - yes we had been doing a lot of motoring. Incidentally we took this diesel from the pump labelled "utan RME" in other words without the new bio diesel components. This fuel is more expensive but less likely to give diesel bug problems. We moved to the guest harbour and found a berth easily, filled with water and operated separately ashore. I bought milk, lime juice and fil ( sour milk for breakfast cereals) while Kristin brought fish, veg and fruit.
Once back on board we felt we could not stand the harbour at all with heat, noise and crowds so left at once for the archipelago to the west. After the narrow entrance we turned South into Sagviken which is a large north facing bay on Jarflotta. We anchored at 58N50.136, 17E54.004.
We had a calm and not too hot night though we both slept without any covering.
When leaving the next morning we used the deckwash system again, but this time left it for Kristin to use while Iwent back to the tiller. It washed off the mud very easily but Idon't know if it will cope with clay.
