Nynashamn to Kolnasviken 1st July

We first had a short walk round "three corner island" looking at the splendid houses of the rich and at the very ornate hotel and bath house that can been seen from the sea while still a long distance out. We went on to have lunch and then decided on a late departure to get past the open waters of Myssingen. The weather was cold 13.7 C and cloudy with threatening rain which soon arrived - but did not last. We made steady progress unde jib and motoer and duly arrived at the entrance to Kolnasviken. ( 59N05.1, 18E24) The GPS isnot in close agreement witht he charts and the channel between shoals is very narrow so the piot, speaking off "awash steep sided rocks" has to be consulted. We have been in before and our recorded trails sometimes intersect one of the rocks. So here the eyeball is king. We dropped the anchor in 6 metres of water and stayed secure in good shelter all night.
