Scandinavia

- The High Coast along the Botten Sea coast features steep shores, islands and fishing villages, and is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  
- The stretch from Skeppsmalen to Skuleskogen is ideal for short trips, frequent shore excursions and flexible itineraries depending on the weather and mooring availability.  
- Destinations such as Trysunda, Mjältön, Ulvöhamn and Skuleskogen combine harbours, anchorages, walking trails and insights into the history of fishing.

- Trysunda is very busy in summer; the small natural harbour and marina, with around 25 berths, is almost full.
- The island of Trysunda is regarded as the jewel of the Höga Kusten, with its fishermen’s cottages, historic chapel, clear lake and walking trails.
- At 236 metres, Mjältön is Sweden’s highest island; it boasts the sheltered bay of Baggviken and walking trails offering views across the Gulf of Bothnia.

- With the trailerable SaltPatrol 720, the journey takes us from Cologne via Sweden to northern Norway, where the boat is launched at the Sommersel Fishing Camp.  
- The midnight sun, strong tides, currents and rugged landscape shape the rhythm, navigation and safety of these largely solitary voyages.  
- The crew gets to know the fishing grounds using artificial lures, catches cod, pollock and halibut, uses only selected fish and brings the filleted catch home frozen.

- The Höga Kusten in northern Sweden is a remote sailing destination with steep cliffs, fjord-like bays and archipelago islands.  
- The landscape was shaped by glaciers during the last Ice Age; the land has continued to rise for the past 10,000 years and is a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.  
- After a long journey, the author reaches Grisslan, visits Örnsköldsvik and Skeppsmalen, tries surströmming and takes refuge in a fika with pastries.

- Seven foreign fishing tourists have died in boating accidents in Norway within the last four months; there have been a total of 15 deaths in accidents involving hire boats since 2017.  
- The government and authorities are considering stricter rules for boat hire companies, such as mandatory briefings, safety standards and state supervision.  
- Mandatory equipment such as emergency transmitters and tracking systems is under discussion; common risks include small open boats, a lack of local knowledge and bad weather.

- Copenhagen is considering discontinuing the opening mechanism of the Langebro bascule bridge, which is in need of refurbishment; a consultation has been underway since 9 September.
- Refurbishment including the opening mechanism would cost around 444–461 million kroner and take approximately three years; without the opening mechanism, the cost would be 207–257 million kroner with a construction period of 1.5 years.
- When closed, Langebro offers a clearance height of seven metres; there are currently around 100 bridge openings per year, and from mid-2028 it will no longer be possible to request any further openings.

- On 24 December 1811, HMS ‘St. George’ and HMS ‘Defense’ ran aground off Jutland during a hurricane; nearly 1,400 people died, with only 16 surviving.
- The St. George Shipwreck Museum in Thorsminde has been documenting the disaster since 1992, displaying numerous artefacts recovered from the wreck and illustrating daily life on board.
- An 11.5-metre-high rudder, discovered during construction work in 2003, is displayed in the museum as the largest exhibit and a memorial to the tragedy.
