General Advice: - July is the busiest sailing month in Scandinavia, very busy ports. To avoid packed harbours several boats choose their berth already in early afternoon. Anchoring can be done any time and has many quiet spots. - North of Varberg begin the beautiful rounded rocks ( "elephant backs") with colorful wooden houses. The coastal area of the calendar pictures. Do you hit an underwater rock? Then a Swede and a Norwegian saying is "join the club". Navigate precisely, the marks are not always clearly visible. After a while you get used to it. Enjoy it, it is unique. - In Sweden, as in Denmark and Norway, the weather warnings are announced on channel 16 and is then referred to a working channel. The working channel depends on where you are. They are reported in ToerDeKust, if known, and in the marinas. - In Norway it's called the Vinmonopolet, in the Swedish it is the Systembolaget, the state shop for alcoholic beverages. They are expensive in Sweden, more so in Norway. Beer with low alcohol percentage can generally be found in supermarkets.- Taste the delicious European oysters cultivated in Grebbestad and for sale along the coast. - In the sailing waters between Denmark and Sweden you will find plenty of jellyfishes. If you love anchoring and you do that for some days in a row, then normally you have to run your engine to fill up the batteries. Regularly check your cooling system. A sucked in jellyfish can have disastrous consequences! - What flares and signals are required? - Heard in Sweden: there are only 2 types of sailors: those who have hit a rock and those who will still do so. |
