Category: Odyssey 2004

We left stora svartö and will be going around the porkala peninsula soon. The weather is fair, a bit cloudy but very little wind.

The harbour fee at this helsinki owned island is 5 euro. Not so windy today, and the wind direction seems to be more suitable for our ongoing odyssey towards Nystad (Uusikaupunki).

My phone mail settings were not quite ok for sending to the blog so I posted the lost stuff manually. This post is both a message about tech probs and a test that my phone settings are ok.

In case you are wondering, the stuff you see here is brought to the web using Apple powerbooks, Nokia 6600’s and Canon digital cameras. Not that I want to do any product marketing but this combination seems to work ok together.

Yawn. Time to go to bed.

The beginning of the end of day one of our odyssey. We started late, lost a hat in the sea but saved it and got to Stora Svart�n. Ate well (beef, potato, salad and wine) discussed about all kinds of stuff and enjoyed.
The weather wasn’t the best. Even though the sun shone, the wind was quite cold. This summer hasn’t been very warm.
It’s nice to be on the sea. It always is.

One of the big and fast one-hulled Tallink ferries passed aft of us on its way out. Damn it accelerated fast!

We are starting to see some waves now. Phoneblogging standing up is no longer possible.

N 60 15 E 25 17 No more than nine minutes into the odyssey the wind threw jny’s hat over board. It was saved four minutes later.

The treehugging session is over. The Odyssey has finally started.

A very old and ill birch is being taken down on Nicke’s yard and he wants to witness the event. We are waiting. A Bronto Skylift is parked on the yard. Currently a willow is being barbered.

The first night in the boat was uneasy. Falling asleep in the very narrow bed was hard. I woke up in the middle of the night to the hard smattering of rain on the cabin roof. Pretty soon the seagulls started making their usual noise.

Now breakfast is over and it is time to start packing.
