1st July 2015 Furusund to Hogmarso

We made the short transfer from Furusund (59N39.6, 18E55.2) to Hogmarso (59N38.8, 18E52.7) for amusements, food buying and to see how the restaurant was performing. We were pleased to find the Dragon headed Chinese restaurant still there but a little disappointed to find the whole shipyard rather tidier with fewer interesting oddities. We did manage to find an operating toilet though, a great triumph. We found the ICA supermarket rather low on stock, but then it has been a bad season weatherwise so presumably there are fewer people holidaying on the island. The restaurant is back on form and there is less emphasis on music and more on the food. We did need blankets when dining outside as the temperature in the evening was a little low for our comfort. As always, most of the pontoons are fendered and mooring is free.Some of the pontoon floats are decrepit, the concrete outer skin having dropped off leaving only the reinforcing rods to contain the polystyrene filling.
