Where is this?

[Guest]

Or...

if not that, then I have a vague memory of something like that with the barracks in Kalmar Sund area - I think about 10 - 20NM north of Kalmar?

Right , 55.57.500N, 15,42.300E, Utklippan, we were sailing with SWMBO from The Neatherlands to Finland and passed the lighthouse 6.10.2003. Nice voyage !
You can claim the beer on board Helinä, our new boat that has only two hulls ! KSS !

Exellent, I'm on my way! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Did you pop in to Christianso, about 50Nm to the south? Heaven on earth...

Well, actually it's more likely that we have white wine on board, do you mind ? But if you prefer beer just let me know so I'll prepare the fridge !
For some reason I've allways passed Cristiansö, though heard it's worth visiting. Did you go there ?

Sounds like Utklippan

 

[Guest]

White wine it is then!

I did go there, a couple of times. Here's one pic taken from the cockpit, and a second pic from the island forming the west side of the harbour (which is in the crack between the two islands, joined by a small footbridge - note the rather fetching dark blue Contessa to the right of the pic /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

my memory went a bit foggy, so I have to use this left a bit... right a bit... technique. A bit like my navigation, unfortunately! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Looks like very pittoresque ! I have then an other place to visit.
Looking forward to see you on board Helinä ! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'm just trying to book the flights (not for a Scot to miss a free drink). But they keep asking me where to!

Utklippan is one of those places

Where people go just because its a bit difficult to get to. We arrived in June to find the harbour packed with boats moored 2 and three deep just like Poole used to be. Electricity supplies available but no water as its just a few specks of islets in the middle of the sea, joined together with concrete walls. Lots of seabirds, good shelter. Quite nice but, like Canada, not for the whole weekend.

 

[Helina]

Just fly to Helsinki and PM me about your arrival and the rest is on me.
Right now Helinä is on hard, temperature 19C below, so the white wine is chilled enough. But I'm sure we'll have a nice chat when the Webasto is on !
Tervetuloa !

It sounds lovely! Maybe one day...
