Title: Södra Dyvik anchorage

[Back to Index/Map]

When we were in Sweden in late May we picked up some charts from HR Parts and have ever since been finding post-it notes that Vickie Vance had inserted showing various anchorages. So today we headed for "Beautiful Anchorage", some 35 miles north of Smögen. A great sail - warm winds, blue skies and sun, lovely scenery and even some wildlife (porpoise and seal) to while the time away. The anchorage itself lives up to its headline and we had time to launch the dingy and go briefly ashore before another excellent Clare dinner of Swedish meatballs.

Tomorrow we plan to explore more ashore on Otterön (probably means otter island) before sailing for a few hours north along the Swedish coast.
