Finally it was time to get the bimini finished. We left Hamburgsund and sailed to Smögen and Rössy Kapell who were making our bimini. It is difficult to get things done this time of year but we stayed at Rössys jetty at Smögen until we managed to get Rössy to finish our bimini, it took two days.

From Smögen we sailed down to Ingegärdsholm outside Skärhamn where we anchored for the night. The next morning we continued down to Gothenburg and Lindholmen once again.

We spent some time with friends and family.

Our friends on sy Embla was sailing in the Koster archipelago and we decided to meet at Ramsö.

We made a stop at our favourite island Kalvö first. Nice sailing all the way and nice walks on Kalvö, Trossö, Lindö as usual.

We stayed for two days and then sailed to Ramsö and met with Viveka and Erik on sy Embla. We had some really nice time together on Ramsö with walks around the island and nice meals together.

We decided to sail to Väderöarna, Embla motored directly to Stora Hejen but we needed some provisions and sailed to Resö. The little supermarket had burned down so we had to continue to Grebbestad instead to get our provisions. From there we continued to Stora Hejen and reunited with Embla.

Together in Embla´s dingy we motored silently (they have an electric outboard) to Storön for a walk and lunch at the Inn. The weather was fantastic and we stayed for four days, swimming, socialising and doing boat jobs.

We had a nice sail back to Hamburgsund.

After a couple of days in Gothenburg we set the course for Hamburgsund.

The first stop was Hermanö where we moored to a SXK mooring buoy.

We inflated the dingy and went ashore. There are several nice tracks on the island.

From Hermanö we continued to Lilla Kornö. It is only a two hours sail.

We stayed for two days and motored to Näverkärrskilen in the late afternoon the second day. It was very windy but it is only 3 miles. We grabbed a mooring buoy for the night.

Early next morning we set off for Hamburgsund and after a 4 hour sail we arrived at our slip.

After a couple of weeks in Hamburgsund working on the boat and for a living we had another appointment in Gothenburg and once again we decided to take the boat. We left Hamburgsund thursday the 13^th of may. Nice but slow sailing, we took the outside route so we didn´t have to open the Soten bridge. We stopped for the night at Bohus Malmön where we moored in the fishing harbour.

Friday morning we continued souths towards Käringön. Very slow sailing and after only a couple of miles we had to start the engine. The marina at Käringön was packet with boats and we had to moore on the outside of the jetty, not really a problem as the weather was calm.

We tried to book a table at Petersons krog, a really good restaurant but all tables were booked so we had lunch at Lotshotellet instead.

We went for a walk and took this seasons first dip in the ocean, 12 degrees a bit to cold.

The next morning we continued to Dyrön where we moored in the south harbour.

We went for a hike round the island.

Next stop was Marstrand, motoring in strong headwinds. Not many boats in Marstrand.

Then finally Gothenburg where we moored at Lindholmen.

The first weekend in May we decided to leave the dock and motor out to Gluppö. Just for a change. The weather was nice but no wind. We did some boat work had a nice meal onboard and returned to Hamburgsund after a good night sleep.
