16-17th of May. From the wharf to new home docks in Särkkä

Start at 7.30 From Loviisa Båtsnickeri (thx Erkki to drop us there early Morning). Beautiful day. But the beauty has its price. Water is still below 10 degrees Centigrade, The wind blows from North - Northwest. This combination makes the feeling on the deck freezing. No need or even will to beat the wind and sail. We engined the within seven hours to Sipoo where visited a very nice summer house located in an Island.

After a cold day it was a time for Sauna (Blood circulation returned!). Then  having a nice evening, tasting beer & wine, Skagen sandwiches and some grilled salmon with homemade potato sallad. Excellent! Thanks for the Host Family! Not only for the food and stay but for everything!

 Overnight in AquilaDeux (The heating worked!). In the Morning we woke up by hearing some voices... We found out that the family cat did found a place from the top of the tree. Morning excercises started. Almost two hours we tried different strategies with/without ladders to persuade the cat down. No results... He decided to stay up there.

When we left the port - cat was still in the tree.... hopefully he finds his own  way to come down.

The weather was fantastic! Sunny day. Southern, South-Western wind 4-5 m/s. We got the sails up and enjoyned the weather for two hours. Finally the wind went down totally and we had to engine towards Särkkä in the middle of Helsinki. Aquiladeux new homedocks were easily found and there she is now waiting for the summers adventure...

And in the end of the day Erkki called and told that he was nearby. Thx Erkki of taking us home too!
