Highlights
Day-by-day itinerary
Departure to the northern islands
The journey begins in a small Swedish port nestled between granite and the North Sea.
We board gently aboard the sailboat, discovering the cabins, the pontoons, the salty scents and this particular Scandinavian light.
In the evening, first dinner on board, late sunset, presentation of the expedition, first night cradled by the port.
🌿 Theme of the day: First sailor gestures and reading Nordic landscapes: rock, ice and vegetation.
The Granite Islands and the Gardens of the Wind
Navigation towards Smögen & Hållö
First navigation through the labyrinth of the Bohuslän islands. The boat glides between rocks polished by glaciers. We dock on windswept islets where grow: lichens, mosses, sea asters, salt-resistant plants.
🌿 Workshop: cartography and first gestures on deck to catch the wind in the sails.
Evening: Nordic swimming, dinner at anchor, infinite light on the rocks.
The kingdom of living granite
Today, exploration of a spectacular mineral territory. The pink granite of Bohuslän tells a story here nearly a billion years old. Between the cracks of the rocks survive incredibly resilient plants.
🌿 Workshop: Botany of extreme environments.
Free time: kayaking, paddleboarding, napping on warm rocks, nature photography.
Evening: sunset over the smooth cliffs of the north.
Fishermen's Villages and Seaweed of the North
The red houses of Käringön and Gullholmen appear around the islands like pearls on the coast.
We discover: traditional ports, Nordic gardens, maritime cultures, ancient uses of seaweed.
🌿 Workshop: Edible seaweed & Nordic wild cuisine.
In the evening: sauna possible, local shrimp, night in a sheltered anchorage.
The Silence of the Fjords
A slower day, we navigate in calm waters surrounded by pine forests, cliffs, and silent islets between Mollösund and Skaftö
🌿 Nordic Pharmacopoeia Workshop: conifers, berries, lichens, boreal medicinal plants.
In the afternoon: paddling, reading, yoga, cold swimming for the brave.
The Living Laboratory
We are exploring today one of Scandinavia's richest marine territories: Lysekil and its marine ecosystems
🌿 Themes: marine biodiversity, algae, seabirds, coastal evolution, climate & Nordic ecosystems.
Workshop: sailing, weather and sensitive mapping.
In the evening: last big evening at anchor under the northern sun.
Return from the Archipelagos
The boat slowly makes its way back to the departure port Kungshamn.
We share: photos, discoveries, notebooks, sailing memories.
One last swim perhaps? One last coffee facing the islands?
And that strange sensation: having lived a week outside of time.
