A Pleasant Day Sail in Kanholms Fjärden


View Larger Map

We decided to go for a short day sail to Kanholms Fjärden - a large bay a couple of miles from the marina. The Volvo Ocean race will be using this as a course for an inshore race day next month. We started off drifting down the channel at 2 or 3 knots in light winds. As we arrived in the bay, the wind changed suddenly and found ourselves enjoying about 12 knots of wind and perfect sea state. We ran the length of the bay and back and were only out for 4 hours, but came back to the marina really glad for our outing.
