2015 Sailing weekends
10-11/10 weekend Västingskär
10/10 Saturday
We decided not to start our sailing weekend Friday but Saturday so we went out from the harbour at 11.00 . Our plan was to see if we could stay at tån North but when trying we realised the boat was to big for laying long side.
We therefore tested västingskär a vey narrow spot that we never visited before. After some tries we managed to dock in a great place.
Sunday 11/10
We spend time in the boat until lunch. Thereafter we used the kayak and discovered the area. Even a seal was surprised seeing us paddling around.
On our way back to the harbour we made a short stop at the south side of Tån. On the east side it seems we can dock long side another time.
2-4/10 weekend sailing

Friday evening and we were tired and therefore we did not leave the harbour. Food and Idol on the iPad and that’s it.

Pretty nice weather with wind from South. We had a talk with our neighbours who normally lives in Dalarna and are seldom at the boat.

We had a nice afternoon, I took the canoe and went to the beach while Anna was finishing her work. I walked around this nice area called Nävkärr with a heritage since the Vikings :-). When I came back I found Anna naked on the boat after a bath!!!! Wow what a view.
We both slept in the sun for a while. Anna did also take the canoe and walked around the area.
The evening was nice.

At väderöarna it was boats at the pier were we good anchore so we decided to go to fjallbacka. We found a good place there and instead of preparing the dinner Bjorn suggested we eat that the restaurant. Easy choice….

We took a beer in the boat before we went to the restaurant. We all were tired so we went to bed shortly after 22.oo. All of us woke up around midnight due to the party on the restaurant close by. Not a good night.

2015 28-29/3 weekend sailing
Anna and me spend a great weekend in sailing from Fiskebäckskil to Örn on Saturday. The sky was blue and wind was about 5 MS so we had a good sailing north. While Anna was relaxing in the cockpit we came into heavy fog so I had to wake her up and to focus on navigation. I was happy for the AIS in the navigation system so we could follow other boats.
We dock the boat at Örn in the afternoon and met our friends Bo and Mia Gärdelöv and had a nice evening together. During the night the wind was increasing to 14-15 MS so we hade a pretty rough night.
On Sunday morning the weather was calm. Agnes came with the car so Anna took the car back while Agnes joined me in sailing back to Fiskebäckskil. Mia and the kids wanted to join a bit so we all sailed to Bohus Malmon were they stopped. Agnes and I had lunch before we continued south. We made a short stop at l:a korno for adjusting the mainsail as well as in Lysekils looking for water before we got back to Fiskebäckskil.
A good weekend.
Peter
