Absolutely no Wind. We just set the Autopilot on and engined the boat to Helsinki. Total trip time 8 h 15 mins. Surpisingly 48 Nm, so we actually took somewhere two extra nautical miles on Friday.
I have a strange feeling that the Skipper and the crew little bit burned themselves in the sun.

1.7.2011 50 nautic miles to Tallinn
Ha, ha just a pic of the model. Today we set sails toTallinn with another yacht "päivänsäde" we made a mini convoy to Tallinn.. both yachts were fully load with kids. In AquilaDeux there was skippers sister and her four (yes -four) children + his own daughter Anna.
In Päivänsäde there was Skippers M and D + Brother with three kids.
The day was really a day to mention in the annals. Nice 5-7 m/s eastern wind that push both boats (both 37 ft) to medium speed of 6,25 knots.
Leaving Helsinki at 9.00 and arriving Tallin´s old port at 17.00.Not bad.
Thanks for the participants! ON Sunday the 3rd maybe back to Helsinki.
