Foggy day, the 9th of May 2014. Season started

We arrived in Loviisa with Jaska the steerman already in the afternoon of the 8th of May to sail the Yacht to Helsinki. On Thursday the Temperature was freezing cold (+3 degrees Centigrade), so we heated the yacht as warm as possible inside and spent the night in the Boatwharf's docks.
 
At 10.30 the 9th of May we set our sails towards Helsinki. The weather was much warmer (8-10 degrees), but in the beginning very foggy. Actual visibility was at its worst around 10 meter.  Without GPS-Chart plotter it would be very hard to navigate. Luckily ours worked. Somewhere near Pellinki Island the foggy disappeared and we even got some sunlight to joy.
 
Just and hour before arriving home the temperature dropped down again ant the rain satrted again.... wet wet wet (and cold!).
 
At 18.00 we moored in the homedocks. Actually we made record time from Loviisa to Helsinki with AquilaDeux.
 
Nice trip. Thanx Jaska fr great company.
