Last rocks for a few days and Stockholm - July 6 th

An excellent sheltered anchorage overnight. Even better were a morning swim before the breeze sprung up and a close sight of a sea eagle being harried by crows.  Then more relaxed sailing through the rocks to Stockholm. The routes are comfortably wide here except for short passages between lines of large islands which are increasingly inhabited as we get nearer Stockholm. Also you get what you see with no hidden rocks. We took the Baggenstaket canal for the last bit and the the final mile or so to the marina a short walk from the city centre. Exhausted ourselves researching the Vasa museum, visiting best tourist office ever and the old town. First impressions of Stockholm are excellent.
