More fed up and depressed than ever on the boat and ready to fly straight back home. I can't believe we were so stupid to leave the nicest harbour, miss it's festival and get stuck part way to our planned anchorage in the least attractive harbour. After a good sunny and light wind start and a biassed beat out of the Nävekvarn inlet we hit strong wind and choppy water in the exposed leg of our rock route, making 7 knots with two reefs and no jib. Very stressful when looking for green and red sticks. So we bailed out and headed for this little fishing harbour, having a much needed cup of tea and sandwich at about 2:30 safely tied up.
Things have been better today. Forecast heavy rain and wind kept us in bed late, but then we walked to the cold war fort which dates from 1965 and is underground. We'd run round it last night but our English tour made it more interesting and we got to go into the tunnels. I also picked and ate lots of strawberries and bilberries. We got back to the boat just before afternoon rain started, so have cheered up.
