What Happened To Sweden?

We have removed the West Coast of Sweden chapter from this volume because:

It was a legacy from the 1986 1st Edition of the Norwegian Cruising Guide when there were no English-language guides to the Swedish coast. That is no longer the case.

Our information was getting out-of-date with no plans to sail in Sweden anytime soon.

Having a chapter on Sweden in a guide to Norway doesnt make sense.

However, if you were using this chapter in the 8th Edition of the Guide and still need it, we can send you a PDF copy for free.

The passage from the Swedish border and along the east side of Oslofjord en is straightforward.

When sailing south from Oslo towards Stavern, your main decision is whether to take the open water route or sail inland up Tnsbergfjord en. If you choose the inland route, you will have a further decision to make between entering Tnsbergfjorden between Tjme and Nttery or fur- ther north, east of Tnsberg itself. There is little difference in terms of dis- tance between the inshore and offshore routes but the inshore routes are of much greater scenic interest.

West of Stavern there is a nm open water passage after which you can head up Langesundsbukta and into the sheltered eastern part of the popular Krager Archipelago.

Summer weather in this area is dominated by the sea breeze that regu- larly reaches to m/s (20 to knots) in the afternoon. Veering south-
