Yesterday evening we enjoyed seeing the sunset from the rocks bordering the harbour entrance. Arriving yesterday at Käringsund we saw many people laying on the rocks sunbathing. We call them pale pink seals!
Weather is still amazingly warm for being Scandinavian weather. Water temperature at Danöfladen 25 degrees and air is T-shirt and shorts all day long even in strong winds on the water. Tomorrow we expect some overcast sky, but temperatures stay warm. The weather forecast talks about tropical nights when temperature doesn't go below 20 degrees, we have had many.
Well back to todays sailing that took place after some sightseeing of the Post and Customs building that tzar Alexander I built while occupying Åland.
We sailed in great wind mostly, except for the last bit from behind and arrived at 16.30h in Danöfladen which was full of seaweed. We swoj anchored and went swimming, suddenly Lukas called out: Anchor is letting go we are drifting!
The 3 of us just in bathing suits worked like clockwork. Lukas turning the motor on, Katja and I lift the anchor and just before we hit shore we smoothly left Danöfladen. All in agreement after this adrenaline kick we went another 16sm north to the next recommend anchor place Djupviken.
Finally anchored for the second time, this time more safety, we were ready for dinner badly. Lukas cooked his traditional macaroni dish with hamburger and we all loved it!
Tomorrow we will head out west for one of the most west islands of Åland before we head south to Arholma on Friday. At the beginning of the week rain was predicted for Friday and Thursday night, now we only expect overcast for tomorrow. Things change and Swedens mainland seems to get all the rain.
