We recovered the anchor with just a little wait for it to releas from the bottom. It came up very caked in clay which was difficult to remove. The deck broom got full of mud and is too big to get into the anchor crevices. We need a trowel. However it does set fast and hold firm. Our exit from Kolnasviken was just as twitch making as the entry but successful. We made off up the lead N of Orno in sunshine and warmer weather.
I'd been intrigued by the mention of a secluded guest harbour and hotel restaurant complex at Sma Dalaro and went to have a look. The island to the east Krogholmen is pretty horrid with big building progrmmes both at the shore and inland with an enormous hotel? being built in a large plastic tent, otally dominating the surroundings. The marina is entered via a very narrow canal at 59N09.9,18E27.85. The immediate neighbourhood of the hotel is reasonable but development is proceeding very fast and the area sems overcrowded and unpeaceful. The hotlel has mixed reviews so it was a quick tour round the pool and we left not intending to return. Outside the world went on and v=beauty returned quickly. We made Malma Kvarn in time for lunch onlyh to find the restaurant did not open till evening. We moored up at the far end of the harbour this time rather more peaceful and just enough water and had lunch on board and started waiting for dinner - as well as going on scraping and oiling teak.
