Anders has had a goal ever since he bought RS and that was to sail passed Kråksundsgap. This notorious place, where ships have gone under during hard winds, and which he has sailed passed many times in boats where he hasn't been the captain, has always tempted him. Now we would sail past. Or at least travel past. There was quite a lot of wind on the way there but through Stigfjorden it was nice weather and we could sail quite a lot. When we came out to more open water we noticed the wind more and the waves were quite high. We got some respite when we went through Mollösund but the wind increased again before we reached our port for the night, Hällevik Yacht Club on the western side of Orust. For those of you who want a calm night and won't care too much for partying, or maybe will go further west, towards Denmark, this guest harbour is a good choice. There are three showers/toilets, one ice cream place where you can get fresh rolls in the morning and a very expensive restaurant. We were very happy though to be able to get Y-booms, our favourites. We walked around as usual, looking at the boats in the harbour and later enjoyed a cosy evening in the boat together with YouTube.
