Visited today Navigationssällskapet at Lillöörarna in the Stockholm Skärgård. Beautiful!!

After our first day at work, after the summer vacation, we decided to enjoy the journey home from Stockholm to Vaxholm. So, we had a little afterwork party at the Väddö boat from Strömkajen (Stockholm) to Ytterby brygga in Vaxholm.
