Hanko, extra day of resting


We woke up early morning fresh and with a nice smell of freshly cooked coffee. The mistress of the boat had made a fantastic breakfast to prepare us for the days adventures.

Just after the breakfast I heard that freshwater pump was pumping and all the taps were closed. Quickly I checked the hoses and found out that in one of the hoses there was a hole. Sunday, how to find a place that sells water tubes?

As a well known cosmopolitan I did as you do in the big world too: ask the Taxi driver. Within twenty minutes I found from local Teboil a hose that is suitable for this purpose. The tube cost 2,40 € and the taxi 15,00 €. After this the skilled McGyver fixed the problem.

Then we went to a little walk. We decided to walk along the fantastic Hanko beaches to the small café called Neljän Tuulen Tupa (The house of the four winds). This small coffeehouse is located 3 km from the city center and was previously owned by Marshall Mannerheim, the Finnish war hero.

In the small peninsula that is really open for all the winds. Sun was shining,nice company, excellent coffee. What else you need?

Tomorrow we are heading westwards, we will see where...
