A new twist: Stop for lunch, at Lenhamnan, 59 25.4 / 018 54.5

Woke early, wind forecast promising, so plan a long day and start early(ish). Managed 7:30, not bad, eh?

Aolius decided to go one better than the forcast and blew 10-15 kt wind, right behind us, and therefore excellent progress, nearly 30 nm already. Weather grey and chilly, but no rain luckily, and lunch in a warmed cabin is a good idea. Goal today is another SXK buoy at an island which is a good starting point to cross the stretch to the Åland islands and Mariehamn, about 30 nm. Forcast wind not so favourable, but you never know!

I am delighted and encouraged to see how many ‘views’ my blogsite are getting, no less than 35 yesterday! Can’t be boring, can it? I’ll continue to do my best.

Lunchtime over, saddle the horses…… All’s well, from SailorJohn
