In the beginning of June there was full summer.As always, there was a lot to do at work before the summer vacation, I managed a few outings with the sailboat, working from the boat, in June, but not much else.
My vacation started at the second week of July, and I went out sailing for a few days.
I checked out a possible overnighting spot at Vekara. It was shallow and the anchor hold was bad, but seemed possible with my boat.
The Sandbäck lighthouse, which is quite far out. Close to impossible with kayak, considering the restrictions.
Yttre Bredan was the most extreme overnight place. Quite far out, bad anchor hold and quite exposed.
The weather wasn't always sunny and easy, but that is just an additional richness of life.
This was also the last trip with the Halcyon 27.
As can be seen, most of the summer was spent sailing, since the archipelago is currently what interests me the most. I still ride my bike almost everyday, though, but for me the sort of "hobby" side of bicycling is concentrated to the winter.
I also started to try a little sea kayaking again. I injured my shoulder when I held a sea kayaking course doing lots of rescues in July 2023, and it has been really slow in healing. It took six months before I could sleep on the right side again, and paddling still hurt in May 2024. The shoulder has slowly become usable again, though.
At the end of August I bought a sailboat in Sweden, and sailed it home 240 nautical miles in five day. That was a fun trip, and I'll do a little writeup of that one.
I also did a little sea kayaking with two friends in the Kosterhavet National Park on the west coast of Sweden. I'll write a little about that one too.
There was of course also some sailing and working from the boat in September.
And then the summer ended, about the time when September changed into October.
