When we were returning from a boring night out, we heard the sound of rock. pni decided that he was tired. Two of us started heading towards the sound. We almost entered a karaoke bar but realised that the sound was bouncing around the houses nearby.

After a bit of sound-orientation we found the source of rock in Nystad. A nice looking inner yard where half of the town was digging a cover band. We enjoyed Stray Cats and Elvis among other things.

The navigation just got more interesting as we don’t have maps for the plotter over the area we entered now. Back to all manual navigation. Good training for us all.

Grey, grey, grey. We are on a 3.4 meter inner route that will take us to Nystad. The closest bigger village at the moment is Lokalahti. Our position is 60 36.38 N 21 24.77 E.

Pekka is preparing food again. The reason he needs a tissue in front of his mouth is that frying his own chili sauce is bad for your health. Without proper protection you suffer from heavy coughing and uncontrolled sneezing.

The food was good as usual. Not as hot as in Hangö, but nicely warm. Nicke needs more training though. He used this pile of paper for cleaning his running nose during dinner.

It has rained all day and it is still raining. We took the route over Gullkrona fjärd and are heading towards Nagu.

We are enjoying the traditional beer. The tradition is one cold one when we reach the harbour of the night.

The air in Hangö must be bad. It kept us awake until early morning and now we are suffering from extreme fatigue.

We just realised that we haven’t put up any pictures of the vessel we are travelling with. Here it is from quite an awkward angle. Better ones are coming later.

The currently ongoing activity is dinner preparation and aperitif drinking. On the menu today is a hash of Chorizo, onions, eggs and yesterdays potatoes (at the moment code-named disaster). Cough! The chili fumes are reaching the cabin.

If you are into smells, we can heartly recommend the toilets on Orslandet. I haven’t felt an ammonium breeze that strong since one time in the army when I dug out my sweaty t-shirt from the closet after it had been soaking for two weeks. It kind of wakes you up, ammonium.

The weather is quite cloudy and the light is kind of odd.
