Last sailing day of the season
Early in the morning the crew arrived and we set the sails and left Helsinki towards Loviisa, where we arrived before the sunset.
Traditionally we ate well (this time filet of beef with Garlic potatoes and some red wine.
After that we went to see local nightlife and to take a few beers. Of course the evening was in the d a little bit longer, but the last men (skipper and Pekka) where safely in the boat at 1.30.
Today morning we packed our stuff to the car and went back to Helsinki. we tested everyone with alcometer, two of the crew blew pure zero (Juha and Ipu, good boys) so Juha drove.

Tomorrow to Loviisa
Autumn became. It is time to take the boat up for the winter. Skipper + four crew members will take the boat 40 nm to Loviisa. After sailing and emptying the boat we all go traditionally to a local restaurant to spend evening and remember another summer that has passed. The weather should be reasonable, wind s-sw 4-7 m/s, little bit showers and maybe the sun even shows up.
