Mönsterås-Haradskär-Arkösund



6.7. Kalmar-Mönsterås. We woke up early and did the shopping and I changed the primary fuel filters. Before noon we left for Mösterås. Twice we hoisted the sails but there wasn’t enough wind. Luckily it was only a short leg and we arrived at this small harbor with only two other visitors. The harbor is adjacent to a camping place and it belonged to a sailing club. The place was very homely and the weather was nice and sunny all day.
7.7. Mönsterås-Haradskär. We left early and after 28 nm the wind started to pick up and we hoisted the genaker and it carried us the next 50 nm close to Haradskär which is a former pilot station with a harbor that has only place for a few sailing yachts. Outside the harbor we hit a rock but luckily it was only a small touch with the keel, the second on this trip. The first one was at the Kiel canal when we got too close to the shore when making room for a big ship. There were two boats at the harbor and they showed us a spot where there was enough water for our boat. There were no services but that didn’t matter.
8.7. Haradskär-Arkösund, NSS marina. The wind had turned North during the night as expected so we took a minor boat route with the engine. There must have been at least a hundred sailing boats going southwards during this 25 nm trip. The weather was sunny and warm. The engine worked perfectly. The marinas are getting more expensive as we get closer to Stockholm so we plan to use natural harbors during the next days. There seems to be a lot of those and the archipelago here is big and looks quite familiar.
