And we had no beer, no sandwiches, only water, coffee and the emergency rations. Mari also doesn't eat meat, so most of the pea soup and corned beef based things could not be served. Fortunately, there was beans, and there was tuna.
After our makeshift meal, we explored the surroundings. I had moored the boat in a cove opposite of Storholmen, a place I never visited before. There were several other boats there, it being Saturday, and also a group of sea scouts who had arrived by dinghy.
There were lots of green things, nice nature things, and some less nice things, mostlyt murder ants.
After having talked to a guy with a broken jetski who had been towed into the cove and abandoned there by someone who probably wanted to keep the channel clear from obstacles, we had coffee and then sailed home in almost no wind, motoring the last half an hour. It was still a very nice day. Oh, and the jetski guy did get help from another mobo, they passed us later with his contraption in tow.

Excellent post. Lovely pictures. I want a close-up of those murder ants. Sorry the pub is closed. It looks adorable.
As for ant close-up...actually I tried. But as I bent down to aim the camera at them, I realized that a batallion of them was already half way up my legs and I had to run and wipe them away...
I tell you, compared to those things your deer and racoons are nothing at all! ;)
Ants crawling up your legs? Phffft. Where's your sense of adventure, man? Oh wait, are these the kind that bite? Like fire ants? Oooh, whoa, now I'm just grossed out. Run, run, I say. Forget the close up.
Yeah, they have red bums and bite. ;)
