Vinö

Apart from being a good spot to row around, the islands to the southeast of Vinö had some interesting fish traps, which we hadn't seen before. They were a tapered cylindrical net, with a pointy closed end, sitting on the bottom in a few feet of water, and a wide end that finished as a vertical net in the water, extending to a shore. The ones (we must have found a dozen or more in as many minutes) we saw had no fish in that we could detect, but they looked like they were abandoned.

As we were setting off on our row, some canoeists arrived and set up camp right opposite our anchorage. The non-tidal waters of the Baltic are ideal for canoe-camping, though I should think the mozzies are a nuisance when cooking outside and liding in a smalltent.
