More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The wind picks up off the Baltic and the wooden piers of Nacka Strand slide away as the yacht turns toward a scatter of rocky islets. Sea-spray cools the face; granite skerries loom like low islands carved by ice and time. On a clear day the horizon is a stitched line of green and rock, and the water seems to dare you to slow down and listen.
