Sulkaniemi the 12th-13th of August



We waited already on Thursday to start the trip to the east, but because of the heavy rains we postponed the start until Friday morning.

The day was beautiful only 2-3 m/s wind from the east. After two and half hours ride we reached the Sulkaniemi (place owned by Merenkävijät - the yachting club). We were first timers there but very nice people took our ropes and welcomed us there.

Somewhere at 19.30 also Jaska and Mevi our friends arrived with Mafalda their Hallberg Rassy. We sat down and chatted together sipped some wine and enjoyed the nice natural port nearby Onas in the archipelago of Porvoo.

In the morning after having some morning coffee we started to prepare ourselves for the fishing competition. Simple rules: all the fish are measured from head to tail and the length of the all the fish one can catch within one hour are measured. I personally got ten fish with total length of 146 cm (I was 14th!) Jaska was even much better he got total length of 2,5 meters and position the 4th.

After the fishing competition we set our sails back to home port and did not - unfortunately - joined the evening party.

What a nice and sunny weekend with pleasant people.
