After we managed to conjure up two more weeks of summer, we added an extra goal to our voyage — to take part in Medieval Week on Gotland, where we’ll spend a week. It’s an optimistic plan, assuming we’ll have the energy and perfect weather all the way. Since we can’t predict exactly when we’ll run out of energy, encounter bad weather, or have something break, we’ve added a few buffer days to give ourselves some breathing room.
After the week on Gotland, we’ll continue our voyage through the Göta Canal. Planning that leg in detail feels pointless, as we’ll be so dependent on lock openings and the number of other boats. If our holiday ends before we’ve made it through the canal, there’s a nice feature — the canal allows weekend sailing from town to town until we reach Gothenburg, as the canal fee includes five nights of guest berthing at each harbour along the way.
