South of Helsingfors

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.

Hat over board

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.

Still in Gumbo

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.

Tired

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.

Dinner

No boat trip today but good food instead. Herring, new potatoes, schnapps, beer, wine and beef. Tomorrow we will try for an early start. Let’s see, it’s already way past midnight.

Yoho, ahoy

So we didn’t get ourselves on the sea today, but we got a rather good grilled meal and a nice sauna. Tomorrow we’ll be heading west.
