Drove past Finland.

We filled her up with 66.6 liters of light heating oil and are going for Aspö. The weather continues to suck so we might change our minds.

Right before leaving an old and traditional looking beauty parked next to us. It turned out that it was not old at all but built in 1999 according to a model found in a museum.

The motor is a one cylinder Wickström from 1925. The owner is running it on paint thinner at the moment but will switch to cheaper Estonian gasoline later. With a 1000 liter tank and a small motor you do not need to fill up that often.

Paint thinner is something we could consider for Haffsårkestern who also considers todays gas ignites far too easily.

North of Mossala, west of Stockholm.

Tomorrow the wind will harden according to the forecast to 8-12 m/s due north.

Augh. In Keistiö the mosquitos are mean and there seems to be a lot of them around. Scratch scratch…

Keistiö.

Southern Finland is enjoying a good summer weather. Here the clouds hang heavy… and the rain. The rain in Spain stays mainly over our vessel.

We turned away from Heponiemi and are now heading for Keistiö about 10 nm further. We were planning on watching a play that is performed today at the gasthaus in an old pilot building.

The info available about Heponiemi is old and has not been updated for many years. Too bad for us.

We’re back on the digital map! Later than what we expected.

We are heading on. There are a bit of waves now so we are taking an inner route. Click here to see a short quicktime movie shot through the cabin window.
