Saltsjøbaden, 

the drizzly weather and unfavourable wind made the decision easy. Seek haven! 

Harbourmistress very welcoming, saw Josin arriving and gesticulated and waved me to where to dock. Easy. Narrow pen, Josin just fitted, on the office pontoon. What could be better?

Washing machine available and now in use. Suitable activity in this un-summary weather, watching it, indoors. 

Have decided to stay the night. Wash-and-dry time is long enough to delay departure until too late really. Early start tomorrow will be just as effective overall. 

Bumped into a Brit in the office. Just arrived from the Åland islands, and keen to tell me all about it this evening. Will be interesting to hear if he has experience of places to which I have not already been. 

Forecast for tomorrow is for a sailable wind, 8 – 12 knots from the SW, almost enough for a good sail. Genakker probably. Hope the windgods (Aeoli?) listen to the forecast.

All’s well from SailorJohn
