Just so you don't think we are a bunch of unresponsible idiots at
Bluefish :-) - we rented the boat including skipper, he had 20 years of
experience with no prior accident and is one of the skippers the rental
firm trusted most. Even though I feel he was a bit "nonchalant"
sometimes I can not blaim him for what happened.

Well, maybe the anchor problem with the catamaran was a bit reckless,
but going aground was probably not his fault (it appear not to have been
marked on the seacharts) and he did check the boat extensively before
going out again the day after.

Jonas and I (we have been sailing a lot in Scandinavia) did think it was
strange that the skipper didn't (seemingly) use the seacharts, but later
we learned - when talking to a professional skipper on a 674 ton yacht -
that they are only used "in emergency" because the sea is "99% very
deep" down there. Compared to the 24000 island Stockholm archipelago
it's childplay. :-) In our archipelago there are some areas where you
simply can not sail - too many underwater rocks, it doesn't matter if
you have GPS and go very slow.
