Contrary to jny’s earlier posting, I presume that the fatigue we suffered of this morning was caused by the hotter-than-hell chili hash of yesterday, rather than than the bad air of Hangö. But this is just a theory.

Today’s trip was no more than 21 nautical miles in 2,5 hours. The weather was quite nice for a while. We outran some dark clouds outside Hangö (Hanko) and actually enjoyed a sunny warm weather with the wind at our backs. But as we now sit in Kasnäs guest harbour the clouds have caught us and it looks like we’ll get some rain tonight. And as usual, we took the traditional harbour-beer.

Our captain is missing from the picture. He didn’t take part in the tradition this time, since he took the harbour-beer (beers) in advance yesterday. As did the rest of the crew too, but the crew is so superstitious that they don’t dare to miss a good tradition. :)

Here’s a picture of the nerd central. The geek factor on this boat is quite high, as you may see. The phones and the digital cameras are missing from the picture since we can’t charge all batteries at once…

That’s Kasnäs.

Wind E 3-7 m/s. Speed 10 kn. Course 287.

Hangö (Hanko) is disappearing behind us at the speed of about 9 knots as we head west. Due to the slow morning and late start we’ve decided to make this a short day on the sea. Our target is Kasnäs.

Hangö by night…

Today we drove about 52 nautical miles to Hang� (Hanko). The plan was actually to go as far as Kasn�s, but we changed our plans to be able to enjoy sauna and eat before midnight. Here’s a selection of today’s photos.

The food of this evening, the very hot (chili) hash code-named disaster (which turned out to be more of a success than a disaster) was served with wine and sallad.

Some like it hot, some like it even hotter, and some just enjoy the pain. Pain is what our captain thought when he ate the food. Pain is his game. He took even more of the hash. Way to go!

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).
