The ship is ready for the summer adventures
The boat was ready rigged on the 15th of May.
On the 16th the skipper and two crew members were ready to pick up the boat from Loviisa to Helsinki. We faced small setback right after the start. The engine was running quite hot (boiling).
We set up the sails and turned back to the wharf. In the end the problem was quite simple. Because of the new water boiler, the engine needed more coolant.
Skipper and one crew member sailed the boat finally the 17th to the home port in Helsinki. Fantastic day! 41 nautic miles, +14 degrees Centigrade, sun was shining. Fair and opend wind from 2-6 m/s. In the end of the day no wind - so we used the engine, that worked fine.
