Not long ago, I moved my boat to a new harbor, which means I can now keep it in the water for an extra month each year. Autumn has always been one of my favorite seasons for sailing, so Marcus, David, and I decided to take advantage of the quieter waters and spend a weekend out in the archipelago. It was pure bliss—just the three of us and a few majestic sea eagles, with no one else around.

And so it was, the last sail of the year. The forecast promised plenty of wind and sunshine. We set off on Saturday morning, deciding to head north. A brisk southeast wind of 7-8 m/s was blowing, and we set our course for Stora Nassa.

Last weekend, we enjoyed our final weekend at sea before the boat gets hauled out. David came up from Kalmar, and we set off on Saturday morning. The sun was shining, and the winds were in our favor.
