Skeppsmalen - Umeå, 15 July 2016

Skeppsmalen is a small fishing harbour that is dying slowly, as the land around is moving-up and the harbour drying-up. 8 mm per year, that is almost one meter in a century!

Skeppsmaln, 14 July 2016 - 63°11.458'N 19°0.916'E

After a new day under spinnaker, we arrived in Skeppsmaln, a Lilliput village where Gulliver Belisama is quite noticed. By the way, this is the first time I anchored from the back, stern to the jetty with Belisama. The start of a long series.

Galström to Lustholmen - 13 July 2016

Waiting for the sea brise to come, we visit Galström, after a night along by the pier. 

A visit to Kuggören - 12 July 2016

After a quiet night the SXK buoy in Kuggören, we made it ashore and discovered a very nice spot! Rough life for the locals, living on a field of marine rocks, from fishing. 

Nowadays, it is a "Naturreserverat"...

From Kuggören to Galström - 12 July 2016

On the way up north, we are following the solar winds prevailing for now. The sea brise starts around 13:00, and we depart by then. 

A foggy journey from Hudiksvall to Kuggören - 11 July 2016

We arrived yesterday night in Hudiksvall for replenishing fresh food in the boat. Apart from good footsore and system bolaget, Hudiksvall is not worth the 12 miles detour it imposes for whoever wants to head north. In any case, we needed fresh food, and a System bolaget, so we enjoyed the stop. After visiting the church, and shopping at the Hemköp, we decided to move on, by 17:00, for Kuggören...

A spinnaker ride to Hudiksvall - 10 July 2016

Fantastic weather today for 45 miles to Hudiksvall where we need stop for getting fresh food! With a SE wing between 6 and 8 m/s (12 to 16 knots) Belisama flies over. What a ride!

Start of the mushroom season in Kusökalv - 10 July 2016

To day, we picked the first mushrooms for the 2016 season. Quite early in the season, and not really impressive boletus. But boletus nevertheless! Quite Ok in the omelette for lunch.
