Koselig marina, flotte toalett fasiliteter og rett i sentrum av Horten. En grei havn for stop over, men med støy fra ferger og annen havneaktivitet, men natten var rolig.

Innseiling og maritime forhold: Sindingsbukta er en liten rolig havn, med flott utsikt nordover mot Oslo. Det finnes en badebrygge der og deilig sandbunn inne i bukta.
Ankring: De fleste ligger på svai, eller på en stor gul bøye som er ledig 2025, da det er vanskelig å legge seg til land. Badebøyer gjør at man ikke kommer så langt inn i bukta. Det kan være vanskelig å få feste for dreggen.
Området: Kyststien går forbinder og man kan gå fine turer nord og sydover på Nesodden.

This is a small bay right near a relaxing spot at Breivoll. There is a kiosk on the beach and an ice cream kiosk on the nearby Neset. Mud bottom with good holding, and you can also secure to land against the rocky shoreline. Rarely any bathers on this beach.

Innseiling og maritime forhold: Innseilingen er problemfri, ingen skjær, men man må regne med litt bølger fra båttrafikken.
Ankring: Man kan fortøye mot land eller legge seg på svai, det er veldig godt feste i stenbunn om man ligger på svai, men brådypt.
Området: Sjødalstrand på Svartskog er et nydelig område med fine turmuligheter langs kyststien eller i Svartskog. Plommehagen på Sjødalstrand er vakker på våren. En tur til Roald Amundsens hjem er fin, eller en tur opp til Svartskog kolonial. Antagelig det stedet med lengst kveldssol i denne delen av Oslo fjorden.

There is fine clay bottom and deep water far into the bay, lovely evening sun, and a short distance to the store or kiosk at Nesset. Breivoll farm is located 5 minutes away with all amenities.

Good depths everywhere, just a shallow area towards the kiosk at Nesset.

Here you can buy the world's best soft ice cream, it is said. The queue can be long, but well worth a long boat trip. It is easy to reach the dock from both sides, but northeast of the dock there is a sandbank towards the house. Not for overnight stays, but for emptying septic tanks. You moor alongside. In the picture, there is a 40-footer.

At the northernmost tip of Nord-Koster lies a hidden little harbor. On certain days, you can stay here completely alone, but when the weather is inviting for beach life, it can get quite crowded. The bay is open to the north, so this is not a place to stay in a north wind. The waves can build up all the way from Hvaler.

The approach is quite simple. The safest route is to go west of Kornskär and keep to the middle of the bay as you go inward. Outside the tongue of land that juts out a little east of the middle of the bay, it is 1.8 meters deep. Motorboats can stay along this point. Here the depth is 1-1.5 meters. Further out in the bay, it is deep enough to moor bow-to-shore against the rock even for sailboats. Here, you will be a bit more unsettled if there is some swell.

The sandy beach at Norra Vikarna is a paradise for families with children. The sand is the finest white powder, and there are rocks and grass around. Here, summer days can pass at a leisurely pace. If the sea breeze picks up from the southwest, both boat and bathers will be sheltered and comfortable.

It is a delightful place, with good shelter from the southwest. Afternoon sun. Some waves from passing boats. There are no moorings in the rock, but on the small islet in the picture, there are moorings.

Note: There are several water pipes in the strait. Check nautical charts.

Approach and maritime conditions: Innermost in Bunnefjorden, a very nice approach passing by Breivoll.
Anchoring: There are poor bottom conditions (mud/sediments) so it is not recommended to stay there if there is a lot of wind. OK protection against wind from the northwest, but do not stay there in wind from the north.
The area: Innermost in Bunnefjorden lies Breivoll, a beautiful beach area. The kiosk at Nesset is said to have the best soft ice cream in Eastern Norway, and many people flock here. There is also a boat shop here (http://www.trebaten.no/), a home/hobby shop, and a grocery store. Good bus connections to Oslo and Drøbak, and only a few minutes bus ride up to the Vinterbro center which has almost everything.

It's shallow here, but a great spot to anchor. Keep vigilant. Swimming area with a toilet right inside.

It is easy to dock, but only for small boats. Check with those on the farm for details. Expect many bathers.

Easy to access island bolts on the rock. Suitable for smaller boats. Expect waves from boat traffic in the area. Good for southern winds.
