Micha and Antje navigate the Swedish west coast, arriving at the island of Votö after a passage from Skagen.1:17 The crew navigates shallow waters, noting depths between 3.90 and 4.20 meters.0:49 Votö, a small island in the Swedish archipelago connected by bridge to Hönö and Öckerö, serves as a stopover to wait out strong winds.1:09 The crew then moves to Vinga, the westernmost island of the Gothenburg archipelago.1:52 Vinga features a historic 1841 lighthouse with a white-red-green flashing light sequence every 30 seconds and a distinctive red pyramidal beacon.5:42 The crew pays a 5-euro mooring fee at the island's small guest harbor.6:26 Micha expresses caution regarding local depths, choosing to exit the harbor via the same route he entered rather than following advice to use the west side, which his charts indicate is too shallow for the boat's 1.40-meter draft.10:26 The crew departs in 10-knot winds, planning further southward travel along the coast.10:48
