Adventures of Sailing Yacht Mist
Sailing in Sweden
An early start and easterly winds. Full main and the code almost all day. Really good sailing. A lot of current against but we made good progress anyway. When we sailed past Helsingör we were doing eight knots through the water but only five knots over ground. The last couple of miles before Skanör we …
We left Glommen early in the morning expecting a nice broad reach towards Denmark. There was a nasty swell and almost no wind. Sails flapping, very uncomfortable and very slow progress. We changed plans and motored along the Swedish oast instead of going to Denmark. Late afternoon we reached Mölle. Not many boats but quite …
We cast off a quarter past eight in the morning. No wind at all to start with. The plan was to sail to Glommen but the wind was westerly and we could steer directly at Anholt. Close hauled but doing good speed. After lunch the wind shifted and there was no way we could reach …
Mornings are getting cold, we have to use the heater a while before we get up and prepare breakfast. The sun rises later and sets earlier. Sailing in daylight means shorter distances. It is time to migrate. We left Lindholmen late afternoon on the first of September, rather tired of a noisy and dirty Gothenburg …
After a walk together with Lena and Fredrik we left Mollösund, we just had a quick stop at the fuel dock, hoisted full main and jib and set off south. We had a beam reach and made good progress. The wind was blowing around 15 knots gusting up to 20 and when we turned more …
Our friends on Sy Capella were going north to Henån and we were planning to go to Gothenburg for the weekend so we decided to meet half way, at Mollösund. We left Hamburgsund at 9.20 in the morning. The forecast promised around 15 knots of wind and in a favourable direction. We had a nice …
The weather forecast promised headwinds the coming days so we decided to go directly back home to Hamburgsund. After some provisioning at the mall in Farsund we motored out of the harbour and after an hour we set sail and had good sailing the first couple of hours. Then it was motor sailing and when …
At last Norway opened up for fully vaccinated people from the VG region. We left Hamburgsund half past seven in the morning the 2nd of July. The course was set for Lillesand. We sailed trough the Väderö archipelago and slowly Sweden disappeared behind us. The Hydrovane was steering and we made good progress. When we …
After four days in Gothenburg it was time to head north again. We had a really nice sail northward and stopped at Mollösund for the night. Sy Matilda with Marcus and his daughter Matilda was there and we were invited onboard. They were also planning to go to Norway so we had a lot to …
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 …
