Sailing is fun!
Somewhere from the Southern Baltic Sea between Kolobrzeg and Copenhagen. In this leg we experienced a wide spectre of different weather. There was gale wind, no wind, Thinderstorms and heavy rain. We also had the best medium speed in the first 10 hours of this leg (around 8 knots)... but then the wind came down... On this leg we also experienced the engine breakdown... But in the end we are back in Helsinki and the summer continues. Next Summer maybe we experience St. Petersburg and the Northern coast of Estonia. Probably with several boats.
Small obligatory pause because of Services
The biggest service is naturally the engine. Very soon the engine will be bolted out and the service company will check what is the original problem.
The same time some minor things will be corrected. For example the new WC-bowl will be installated. Generally the boat is in excellent condition and is very satisfactory and reliable companion in all conditions.
The story will continue after the small changes are done...
