A slow but very enjoyable downwind sail in some 6 knots of wind, sometimes less, took us to Enholmen just at the inlet to Slite. A busy port for celcium and cement, it was considered so important for the country that Enholmen was heavily fortified during the 1700's to protect Slite against Danish or Russian intruders.

The fort was obsolete before finsished, much in the same way as the Danish island of Christianopel in the S baltic.

Very interesting to see though.

23rd July

A nice 4 hours of beating to windward saw us anchor outside Fjaugen, an islet with very interesting nature and a ruin, reminding of the ancient Greece perhaps.... Much more prosaic than that, it used to be apartment for the workers at the stone 'plant' that once was busy here
