East of Sweden: 15 days solo [longplay]

This is the longplay version, over an hour of Swedish canoe sailing goodyness of my 15 day solo trip made in 2022! All videos of this trip stitched together,

The East Coast of Sweden looks perfect for a sailing canoe. It is littered with small and larger islands, and with the prevailing west winds the coast is mostly sheltered. Camping is free, as long as you respect nature, and the privacy of others. From my home in the Netherlands, it's a two day drive by car, and I had three weeks of holidays. So Sweden is within reach. My plan was to sail the stretch of coast with the most islands, going North from Vaestervik. I wanted to go further and further into the wilderness and desolation of this very very large coastline. All I wanted was to be on the water and sail. I was getting back to the basics: Eat, sleep, sail, repeat.
