Month: July 2004

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.

Hangö, the port for this night. Looking forward to a sauna!

The journey continues at 11 knots towards west. Nothing slows us down, not even very good ham and cheese sandwiches with mustard, black pepper and garlic cottage cheese. We’re approaching Hangö (Hankoo).

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.

Shopping food and fuel at Barösund.

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

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.
