24 hours, 128 nm to Kalmar
17th started with nice western wind blowing 6-8 m/s. We targeted to go directly to Kalmar. The weather was the same until around 8.00 the barometer alarmed for sudden fast drop down. Gale warning!
The wind turned very fast to southern direction and blowed some 15 m/s steadily. Aquiladeux reached the top speeds of 8-9 knots on this fair wind. At 10.00 18.6 we reached Kalmar. Bed was very sweet to meet after 24 h watch.
Next target to North probably Västervik. Our Goal is to get the yacht in Nynäshamn from where we collect new crew and set sails directly to Helsinki starting the 26th of June. CREW WANTED FOR THE LAST LEG, If you are interested write: pjmatikainen@gmail.com
