Långö - Fjällbacka
July 27, 2005


1

We wake up on 'Långö' the next day, under a blue sky and pretty high winds.


2

We decide it's too windy to go out, so we just stay the whole day - to relax, eat, and read in the sun...

lunch: toasts & blue cheese salad

The bumper and hanging anchor are acting as shock suspension.

One of those holy moments onboard - listening to the weather forecast.

Martin and Per listen in, too.

Martina's hot sausage stew - even better than last year!


17

Wine, cheese, and crackers throughout the evening.


18

Next morning - breakfast as usual.


19

winching ourselves out, against the wind, by our stern line


20

letting go of the front lines


21

...and backing out of there. That took two days of intense planning...or maybe not.


22

Martin repeats the procedure with 'Nessie'.


23

And so, we sail inland towards Fjällbacka.


24

a blue mussel farm (each buoey has a rope attached underneath, on which they grow)


25

Fjälbacka - another popular spot on the coast.


26

studying the "kings cleft" - about 6 feet wide, and very deep
