The day we sailed from Rånöhamn to Lidön, that is effectively almost passing the Stockholm archipelago, was super hot. The first mate stated that the crew employment rule is that it is not allowed to sail full day in this kind of temperature without two hours swimming and lunch break. That we did. We sailed past Möja island and anchored in Tistronskär lagun that is kind of last stop before long outer archipelago leg until the main fairway the Sweden / Finland ferries are using. Could it be lovelier thing than a nice swim from the boat aft in a place like this? At least for the first mate who is swimming enthusiast not many... Also, it is worth noticing that Möja has fishing harbor and is the place where Solsidan's Fredde motored to buy "free range" salmon as Mickan requested in her effort of selecting the most ecologic ingredients for the lunch with her friends.
After this leg we were happy to the distance we had sailed so far and next couple of days were more relaxed with shorter legs. Also, we started to look at suitable weather window for taking the next longer step, that is over Gävle Bukten.
