Just because "Josefin" has had a week off doesn't mean that this past week has been spent entirely on dry land. As a matter of fact - several light houses have been spotted these past few days and more than one guest harbor as well. Also a bit of sailing. For those of you who have already seen the better part of the Stockholm archipelago (and also that of St Anna's) I can really recommend to head up north. Although we have only done some random reconnaisance from the car since last Sunday it proves to be a very beautiful coastline, very few boats out and about and it's much ligther this time of the year than further down south. The evenings now in early August compare with what we experience here in Stockholm during Midsummer. There are obviously much fewer islands than in Stockholm - which has to be taken into account when planning for a day's sailing. It's quite clear that islands offer protection and that protection is simply not there to the same extent. But if you like to hang out in small guest harbors there appears to be plenty of space at least from what we could see. So for next year - why not consider a couple of weeks up north? At least I will.
Harbor fee: 90 SEK per night. How do you like them apples..?
Axmara's delicious fish restaurant. It also hosts a guest harbor.
Great view for dinner.
The stunning view from the lighthouse "Högbonden".
The coastline of Ångermanland ("Höga Kusten") is very similar to that in Maine, US. In other words it's quite mountainous and increadibly beautiful.
The "Högbonden" lighthouse.
The island with its lighthouse can only be reached by boat. Easy access though by ferry from Barsta and Bönhamn. The old lighthouse is today a hostel and is very often fully booked so be sure to make a reservation several weeks in advance.
