Lunch

So when we set out quite late yesterday after another great morning yoga session and breakfast I only had planned to go to Kyrkviken at Möja for lunch but then decide where to go for the night. Wind for the day was to be almost as strong as on Tuesday increasing during the afternoon. We left Söder Långholm motoring 20 minutes zigzag before we could set the Genoa and just with one sail reach 5 knots with Mia at the helm. When we got closer to Möja I took over and we were passed by a Waxholmsbåt twice needing to manage their big waves. Before going south to kyrkviken we rolled the Genoa up again and shortly after 13h we had managed to dock at kyrkvikens pier with strong south easterly wind increasing. Because the wind was so strong from the side we needed 20 minutes until the boat was correctly tied up with spring and anchor on the correct side. Just when we were finished I wanted to fasten the dinghy behind the boat and another sailboat arrived getting entangled in our anchor line. I immediately ordered to start our motor again already seeing that ou r anchor would come loose. Luckily with my intervention and the skilled sailor on the other boat they backed and got loose without ripping our anchor out. Puh, that was a close call!

Now Lovisa prepared a wonderful lunch for us that we had in our windy spot with a beautiful view.
After that we took a short walk through the village and ended up having another cappuccino this time with Prinsesstårta. Lovisa insisted I take the last piece so they could sing for me,  Prinsesstårta has as a kid always been my birthday cake.
I was worried about the boat so as soon we had finished our cappuccino, I left early to check on the anchor still holding with the wind increasing and coming from the side. All was well, but I was eager to get to a more sheltered place for the night.
The clock had reached 16 when we set out again and tacked to go south until Mia got all sweaty from all the winching needed. After checking a first spot out that was to crowded again we went further south ending up at a magnificent natural harbour again with just one neighbor also swoj anchoring.
Immediately Anna, Mia and Lovisa whipped the Kräftskiva party gear out and all the snaps and certainly the krayfish. Hats on and digging in started with singing and even toasting with our neighbors. What a wonderful Kräftskiva in such a beautiful setting, we are so blessed!
We ended up taking until the stars came up and the moon rose that is when I needed to go to bed. The others continued chatting until early morning and left everything out so now party remnants are full of dew.

Let us see if we perhaps today can go to Stora Nassa, because wind will be more moderate today.
