Day 21: Messing about on the river


Sailing time in the Stockholm Archipelago
Definitely never done anything like this before.

While it is still fairly uncommon for people to own boats, it's definitely more common than in England where boat ownership as a hobby is, well....let's just say I've never met a single person with a sailboat in England.

The experience is a bit like caravanning, you have to take a load of stuff with you including a stove and food and then you have to find a good place to pitch (or moor...). It's a lot more technical and difficult though and the return journey was very treacherous as the winds picked up the next day.

If you get the opportunity to go in the archipelago, do it. It's a unique experience to travel around the little islands while at the same time being very close to Stockholm.
