Jurmo was very peaceful, very. Took a walk around and listened to the sigh of the wind in the trees and calling of birds. Took pictures, but uploading isn’t working. No WiFi, so no internet and no blogg yesterday evening.
So, pottered on and found a nice quiet bay a mile or two north and relaxed, and watched the birds. Early evening there was a considerable commotion of cormorants, at least a hundred of them, obviously following a steam of something and fishing it energetically. About half an hour it lasted, then some of them flew away, but most swam to the nearest rock and struggled ashore, quite replete. Much flapping and drying of wings and competing for space. Glorious sunset, at after elleven.
Woken by the sun this morning at just after five, so the day began. Yes, I did have a dip, not long, water temp 14,5. Brrrrrr. Feel good afterwards! Bright sunshine today and not a cloud. Pressure high and rising. Maybe summer starts here and now?
Goal for the day is Uusikaupunki, about 25 nm to the NE. The little wind is in the east, so we are motor-sailing, and expect to get there at lunchtime. Neighbour boat in Lappo, Finish, excellent english, strongly recommended the place, so we must visit. (Don’t think it was his home town).
