description
Choose a route according to the chart to get behind the islet. Several of the passages are very shallow if you draw a couple of meters. We chose to anchor a bit south of the middle of Jerkholmen. Found good holding in 7-8 meters depth, even when the wind shifted. The islet is low and offers little wind protection. Large and open in all directions. Didn’t notice any swell from the sea. If you have a good anchor and anchor properly, you'll be fine even if it's a bit windy. Be aware that there is some boat traffic passing through (those that don't draw much, but go fast). So remember to definitely use the anchor light AND low lighting on the boat/in the cockpit.

This is absolutely worth a visit. Landing pier that can handle a 2m draft if you are careful. Nice to anchor at 3-10 meters depth.
