29th of may, Sunday sailing....

In the afternoon professional crew arrived at time so we left to have a short leg in Front of Helsinki. We transferred the yacht via Santahamina drawridge to the open sea where we set the sails.

The weather was improving all the time so we got fair winds and a lot of sunshine. We also enjoyed the home-made salted salmon(Delicious!) spiced with Gin and special Carrot-Carelian-Pies topped with mushroom-salad (what an excellent composition).

 Around seven o'clock we ended the sailing in Särkkä and continued for a while with a sip of white in the Mattolaituri-restaurant in Helsinki Kaivopuisto.

28th of May 2016, The season started again!

28th May2016: Loviisa-Helsinki

We started from Loviisa båtsnickeri at 10.00. Practically no wind at all. In Gabböle we filled the diesel in the tank. The yacht jammed a little bit at the filling station, the docking place seems to be too swallow for aq2, but on the light weather is ok place to fill.

In front of Helsinki we met Captain Erkki with his speedboat. Erkki proposed us us a can of Great Estonian beer. The offer was accepted with great gratitude and the can was transferred from his boat to AQ2.

We arrived in Helsinki in Särkkä at 20.15.

After mooring we enjoyed very dinner at restaurant Särkänlinna, together with captain Erkki and his friends. Erkki paid so I owe one.

 PS. Excellent Gt! From Helsinki distilleries!
