We hit a rock! | Step 34

Unexpected Challenge (our worst disaster) Our sailing adventure takes an unexpected turn when we accidentally hit an underwater rock near the island of Tjörn. The keel is damaged, but thankfully, the boat's design prevents any water from entering. We manage to reach the harbor of Angeviken, where we receive tremendous support from the local community. With the help of a diver and the harbor's crane, we manage to realign the keel foundation. Though it's a stressful experience, we're grateful for the kindness of strangers and the resilience of our boat. Ockerö and Marstrand We start our trip in Ockerö, where we spend a day editing videos, playing games, and preparing for our journey. The next day, we set sail for Marstrand, enjoying a beautiful 14-mile trip through narrow stretches of water. We anchor near a rocky island, where we have a lovely breakfast on deck and explore the surroundings. Marstrand proves to be a delightful town with its 13th-century history and charming white houses. We enjoy the local fish soup and take in the sights before planning our next leg of the journey[1]. Island Hopping and Relaxation After our misadventure, we spend some time in Angeviken, enjoying the local hospitality and exploring the area. We visit a sculpture exhibition in Pilani and cycle around the beautiful countryside. Our journey continues to Karingon, a picturesque island recommended by our new friend Anders. Here, we enjoy the idyllic town, have a delicious dinner at Peterson's Krog, and even witness bioluminescent plankton at night. Gothenburg and Farewells We return to Öckerö, which serves as our base for a day trip to Gothenburg. While some of us explore the city, others stay behind to rest and catch up on work. It's a bittersweet moment as we say goodbye to some of our crew members who need to return home. Exploring Orust With a smaller crew, we set out to explore the waters around the island of Orust. We find a beautiful anchorage between Tjörn and Orust, where we enjoy the tranquillity of the archipelago. Our days are filled with sailing, exploring rocky islets, and watching Reef, our adventurous dog, as he adapts to life on the boat.
