description
Watch out for shallow waters when entering the small bay at Stensholmen. There are also several shallows inside the bay. We docked alongside with a sailboat that has a draft of 2m. It was a bit tricky to get it right because the rock juts out slightly at the water's edge. You need a couple of sturdy fenders to keep a bit of distance from the rock, then you're good. We stayed here for a day when the wind was only 0-4m/s. Overall, it was very quiet with traffic in the area, so there were no incoming wakes from other boats.
