Wind had turned us around 180 degrees over night fast at the bouy. As planned after breakfast in the sun, we loaded the dinghy up with all of us and went on shore to go to the Naturum as small museum for the nature reserve area. After that we took the same walk as I had the night before along the shore through the woods over root paths and bridges connecting the small islands. I felt transported back in time doing this as a kid and loving it, still do!
We left Stendörren to go to Landsort on the island Öja, which is one of the oldest lighthouses erected. Additionally on the weather report you are always told what the wind is at Landsort.
4 hours sailing got us there and after an excellent bouy dock maneuver between 2 other sailboats we rented bikes to get to the lighthouse across the long island with just one gravel road.
Passing through another beautiful little town we reached the lighthouse Landsort with bunkers scattered around it in every direction you looked. To get the best view of our photo object we circled it climbing over smooth gray rocks. Also this reminded me of my childhood, how fun it always was to conquer jet another rock and get a beautiful view as a reward!
Back at the boat Torsten hunted down a big piece of meat for us to grill at the harbour shop master that had just been delivered while we were cycling. Since the pub in the town was closed my German crew were in need of another source to follow the soccer game Germany versus USA. I managed to set up the internet radio for them to listen while I got the grill ready for our dinner. Satisfied both because of the soccer result as well as our dinner choice, we had a wonderful 2 course dinner seeing the sun set afterwards from deck.
We ended the night with another late 10 phases card game that Stefan won! Absolutely another great day!
