I watched the start of the annual offshore race Gotland Runt a while back. It was a glorious Summer day. I figured that the best place to see the boats and take photos would be from high up, so I headed to Fjällgatan on Södermalm, famous for its views over the city, and as you can see on the top photo I was not the only one with that thought. Around 400 boats took part in the race, and it was a great spectacle to watch. Background on the second photo is Beckholmen with the old giraffe. Third photo with Skeppsholmen as a backdrop. In the fourth photo, you can see the amusement park Gröna Lund. In the last photo for today, we look back at Skeppsbrokajen and Gamla Stan. More yachts tomorrow.

Looks like a nice event to watch.
That's a great boat show but if it is a honest race. I don't know.
That is a lot of boats.
Looks like they are avidly watching who will win
So many yachts and a huge crowd audience too. Beautiful captures :)
Quite a day to be on the water.
This was the start of the race. They then sail through the archipelago, and then around the island of Gotland, before finishing at Sandhamn. That usually takes 48 hours.
What a beautiful sight with all the boats and spectators. Looks like fun event.
