Approaching Sandön Island from the south. Bambi antenna in place, ready to serve!. Sandhamn yacht harbour. The KSSS (Royal Swedish Sail Association) club house and restaurant, always a lively place in summer nights.
The old steam ship *Norrskär* has been converted to diesel power and does a very popular day trip to Sandön in summer season. Korsö - a new one guaranteed! This is where the Swedish navy trains their elite soldiers. A little hard place to get to. The lighthouse on Korsö was built in 1753. The simplistic shack with the FT-857 and Koss headset fitted with a HC-4 mike element. Chris in front of the club house, picture being used for official proof of location.
Sandön has historically been important part of border protection. Lots of smuggling used to take place in these waters and in the 70s a narcotics production and distribution centre was discovered in the basement of the club house. Chris 116 needs a new boat, this one seems nice!. Westerbergs grocery store to the right and *Dykarbaren* (the Divers Bar to the left. In the background is the Pilot tower. Monday morning… the harbour is empty again.
