Buying rope-products in Kotka

Raining, High wind just on our face....ouch! We decided to choose clean skin and free time. So we only took the boat to Sapokka guest harbour in Kotka again. The skipper visited the old seaman near the port to buy a panholder made of rope -fantastic! The old seaman also teached ancient wisdom: " while you sail there are conditions that have to be fulfilled to make the day perfect. 8 m/s wind, 8 knots of speed and 0,8 per mille alcholol level in the blood. Cool guy we try to follow his instructions in the future. We also had to taste some Tapio-vodka (local brand.... terrible) for the remebemberance of my father Tapio, who passed away on February. we also visited Sauna and local showers (nice to be clean again). And tasted some Baltic herring and Salmon in the local restaurant next to the port. Fantastic food. If you come to Sapokka ask from the port café from Nina what dinner place to visit. We probably enjoy her coffee in the morning again. Evening was nice. Tomorrow we set our sails to Helsinki (home). Maybe even reach it.... or stay somewhere between. Nice day again.
