On Monday 6, we get back to Stockholm through the outer archipelago. 2 nautic miles north-east of Huvudskär, you can find a typical 'skier' of the archipelago. A skär, or skerry in English, is a small rocky island without trees, and this one has a small stuga on it, the traditional Swedish summer house, which may have been a fisherman summer outpost in previous centuries.

Navigation in the outer archipelago requires finding a way through the various rocks spread every where around, sometimes above sand other times just below sea level. Fortunately, the chart plotters are extremely precise, and one can navigate very safely in these waters.

Amazing encounter with a moth on foil in Saltjöbaden. You can find all what you have always wanted to know on moth
here.

A different type of encounter when approaching Stockholm. The Queen Elisabeth, just departing from Stockholm for her summer programme in the Baltic, two days after having arrived from the Caribbean.
