Yesterday I sailed through the strait between Festningdholmen and Akerøy when the motorboat in front of me suddenly gave a signal: Go port‼️ Right between the pier on Festningdholmen and Akerøy, he had run aground! I guess he has a draft between half a meter and one meter.
I didn't stop to check the waters further. The shoal is not marked on my charts. I look forward to hearing from others who have also run aground here.
I have posted a new picture where the alleged shoal (<1 m) is marked with a red X.

At the top of the island lies the Redoubt. An advanced observation post. From here, one can see Koster, Færder, and much more.

Navigation and Maritime Conditions: Akerøybay northwest of Festningsholmen, Akerøya, Hvaler. Hazardous waters in several places, use nautical charts.
Anchoring: Dock at Festningsholmen. At Akerøya, you can anchor with a kedge and lie alongside depending on the depth of the boat. There are markings on the rock where you can dock, but note that not all places are suitable for boats with a draft of more than 1 meter. Some fixed wedges in the rock, but good opportunities to hammer in wedges yourself. Sailboats usually lie at anchor. A buoy is laid out in the water. Nice beaches on the island.
The Area: This unique area was purchased by the Oslofjord Outdoor Council in 1955 through a joint effort. One of the most frequented recreational areas in the Hvaler archipelago. Opposite the landing dock on the northeast side, you will find drinking water. Parts of the island are a bird reserve. Exciting area with much to see.
