2008-07-20: To Ursholmen

After a quiet and somewhat wet night we take off under grey skies to continue north. South of Hamburgsund we pass a vital “road sign” telling the direction towards Oslo and Gothenburg. Again we make a stretch outside the islands to take advantage of the north going current. Light or absent wind forces us to run by engine to cover some distance. To kill time we read and Mona is doing some needle craft, fabricating a bag for our new “rock wedges and sledge hammer” and Kajsa is watching some DVD movies.


Eventually we make landfall at Ursholmen on the south-western most tip of the Koster archipelago. To our surprise we are more or less alone except some people coming by boat to stay in the few houses on the island. Houses originally belonging to the light keeper and hiss family and staff. Later in the evening two more boats arrive and the weather improves and the sun starts to break through the clouds.
