New boat – a Wasa 530
We’ve finally bought a new boat!! We started glancing the market for a new boat almost immediately after we returned back home to Sweden in August 2021 and now 2 and half years later we have bought this boat, a Wasa 530. It has been standing for 10+ years and is in need of some renovations. We will probably talk more about or boat buying process in an upcoming video on YouTube. More information and fact about our new boat can be found on this page: About/The Boat – Anne-Mon II. On our YouTube channel we will post updates about all the renovations and upgrades we’ll do. We have already…

New adventure upcoming!
Update: We are currently in search for a new sailboat for a new sailing adventure! 🙂 We have been looking at a few boats already, but not found the “one” yet. We sometimes do smaller updates on our Instagram: @sailingannemon so follow us there to get the most recent updates. As soon as we have found a new sailboat we will do more updates on what our next adventure will be, process/budgeting of the new adventure and upgrades/renovation on the new boat. Brief plan is to set sail again in a few years time, and we will sail across the Atlantic again to the Caribbean, and after that we will…

Last night of our sailing adventure
August 5-6, 2021 After almost one year out sailing we started our last overnight sail, from Torrö close to Västervik to Bullerö in Stockholm archipelago. It was a nice calm sail, we sailed outside of the archipelago up to Bullerö. When we started the trip one year earlier we sailed the inshore route as it felt safer to close to the islands, but on the return trip we sailed outside as we thought that was easier. No need to worry about hitting a rock or something during the night. Quite some different mindset after a year. We really have become more comfortable with open water and sailing during nights than…

Sailing along the east coast of Sweden
July 28- August 4, 2021 After two nights in Skanör we continued the sail along the Swedish coast. Our next sail would be an overnight sail to Kalmar. We left Skanör quite early in the morning. We wanted to arrive in Kalmar not to late the next day as a gale was incoming. We had booked a spot in the marina to be sure we got a place for the night when the gale would pass. The sail up to Kalmar started out calm, but when we reached the strait of Kalmar the wind picked up and the last part of the sail we had some strong winds. We reached…
