The archipelago and back to Stockholm

Vaxholm:

Vaxholm hotel - famed in the 1930s as a luxury retreat

Vaxholm castle
Apparently a famous German general was reported to have laughed only
twice. Once when his mother in law died and once when he saw this castle!
 
For the next week we cruised the islands of the Stockholm archipelago, staying within a days sail of Stockholm in case we had an urgent call regarding Pete's mum. Below are some pictures of the natural harbours we visited and things we saw:
 
 Stensvik Bay
 
 Don't know what these little birds are, (they look like swifts)
but they spent the day chatting on our guard rails and pooping on
the decks
 
 A very crowded Paradiset
 
 Ladnafladden. Hard to believe from the photo but it blew 30kn
while we were here. We had to stay for two days waiting on weather

Now we've seen it all. A floating sauna!
 

 Herself, making sure we navigate past the nubbly bits
 
A walk in the woods

On July 25th we headed back to the Wasahamnen Marina in Stockholm where Keren and Jomora will stay while Pete flies back to see his Mum.
