Some islands have summer houses, some have small summer villages, one is inhabited. Most are completely empty.
Camping is free, anywhere you like, there is a right to roam. No water though, bring it all. Breakfast pancakes!!
To the east the islands & skerries get fewer. That's the Baltic out there
The highest island is about 25m, most are lower. The water varies from 40m to "I'm stuck!!"
Coming home. Some days we moved, some we stayed. We had October weather, with winds between about f3 & top of f6,all southerly. Temperature around 19'c,one thunder storm. All through August (& usually still) it's 22'c, no wind,blue sky
The view from the camp. We didn't need the mossie repellent once.
Sunset paddle. Day length is same as GB at the moment.
Very empty, very peaceful. I once timed 10minutes between man made sounds. The supplied charts and deck compass are essential, no "keep the cliffs on your right ear" here.
The water is very clear. We never once saw ANY rubbish. No floating polystyrene, no washed up plastic,nothing at all.
We'd never camped out of our kayaks before, & it was wonderful. The whole experience was amongst the best of my life. It would have been nice to have our own kit (my wife really missed her very light paddle), but this works. We're going back in June when there'll be more light. Some of the islands will be closed for bird breeding, but there will be birds. Even now we saw plenty, including white tailed eagles every day!
