Trosa

We gave Greg and Sean a taste of the skärgård today. Although it was windy, around 20 knots, the protection of the islands made for a very comfortable 4.5 hour trip to Trosa. Everywhere, so see people anchored in little protected bays. When I say 'anchored', I mean the Swedish way of anchoring: the bow of the boat is tied up to a tree or mooring pin on an island and the back anchor keeps the boat off the shore. Very nice, we have a back anchor so one day we'll have to try it.

With the relatively strong wind, many people stayed in port so when we got to Trosa the harbour was quite full and we ended up rafting next to a friendly Swede. Trosa is a bit 'end of the world' from a navigation point of view, but it is a very pretty and lively place with lots happening around the harbour.


As a new feature, here is a video Greg took today. Hope it works! (Click on the grey video icon and it will take you to YouTube and then show the 19 secs of video)
