Sailing from Ljusterö through the Stockholm Archipelago on SV Arcturus (PART I ... before)

| Season 3 | Episode 39 | PART 1 (before.....)

Welcome to Season 3 of my channel!

On this episode we head out for our adventure leaving the island of Ljusterö after days of boat work. On our departure day.... a Friday 😟... we were met with 25+ knots of wind in the morning that eased to 14+ after out noon departure time. The landscape created ever changing sailing conditions, with wind shadows, gusts in channels and the like.

At 4pm we ran aground and things went very badly after this.... you can hear me tell the full story of what happened to us on PART 2 ( https://youtu.be/jOA_DXeh_JE )

You can see where we ran aground on google maps in the satellite view... https://goo.gl/maps/PTicm89PQWN2 ( 59º 32' 30" N 18º 53' 36" E )

The next nine or so videos will follow my time on board SV Arcturus as we explore the Åland Islands and beyond. We sail into cities, tie up on small islands, anchor bows to and ride out a blow before heading back to Sweden. I hope you will follow along with us on the trip.
