Summer cruise, first leg

This year we intend to explore the Swedish east coast. The first nautical miles are being covered quickly – one and a half days and one and a half nights at sea to start with make this possible. The reward are magical nights, sunrises, and sunsets on the Arkona Sea and Hanö Bay.

Below: Hiddensee Island, Cape Arkona … and a hearty breakfast during the calm.

The second night at sea turns out to be dark and busy – we wait for first light before daring to cross the deep-water route north of Bornholm. After 187.5 nautical miles, we reach the Utklippan archipelago with its famous lighthouse (see below).

From Utklippan we continue north.
