| A peaceful anchorage despite the ferries which also stopped almost beside us! They take the place of mainland buses round here. |

| Independance Day celebrations in full swing at this small island pub. Its a mystery why the Swedes are so keen on everything american, especially classic Cadillacs. |

| Another sheltered anchorage. |

| View from the boat. Complete shelter is the norm round here. |
All more cheerful. The mood follows the weather though the latter is still low pressure for summer so unsettled. Not sure we could claim our passages through the rocks were stress free but they were incident free. We have enjoyed a few anchorages, a surprisingly warmish morning swim and breakfast in the sun. Today we came N of the Landsort headland. We actually came through it by following a train of full sailed yachts disappearing between the rocks. Not liking a downwind approach to a tiny poorly marked gap, we joined the procession under motor, sailing when out of the narrow shortcut. I think it's the narrowest channel we've every wiggled through and we would not have risked it on our own. After this the following 10 miles of more open water were a relief and we had a good fast sail downwind.
