Saturday July 11th<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever you do in life you have to do for the first time once. Today was such a day. We were to go a little way away from out home harbour and anchor and a natural harbour. We went there by motor because the winds were tricky and when the winds are gusty the boat starts leaning suddenly and I become frightened. With motor, it was ok anyway and soon we started approaching our natural harbour, H\u00e4ls\u00f6n, about 2 h from Alm\u00f6sund, in Stigfjorden. Hals\u00f6n is uninhabited but has a lot to discover when it comes to nature and animal life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a bit tricky to get the mooring done right in an easy way. The boat moved around and although we had planned to moor with the starbord side towards the cliff it became port side. Next to the mountain, the depth is 5 metres but it felt quite scary to lie so close to the cliff anyway. At this location, the Swedish Cruising Association have drilled in loops in the cliffs which makes the mooring a bit easier. We tied the stern and the aft securely and had a spring in both the stern and the aft, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
