After 3 days in Seglinge we woke up to some glorious sunshine and a perfect Skärgard day. Easy 25 miles to Möholm where we spent the afternoon chilling on Akka. Most memorable were a couple of sea-eagles who were working on becoming a couple.
It has been 3 days on Seglinge in grey, rainy and windy weather and we were stuck inside Akka for most of the time. Tashi and especially Michi got somewhat restless on day 3.
We are actually having an OK time on Akka, despite the cold and nasty weather outside. Tashi amd Michi used the rain-free morning for some cycling and shopping. In the afternoon we played cards, listened to music, did some cooking. In the evening we had movie night. So glad to…
The front has reached us, but we are only seeing about 50% of the wind the forecast predicts. Seglinge harbour was a good choice, even though there is not much to do in this kind of weather. Tashi and Michi did a little shopping and tried to find the Seglinge…
Our plan to reach Ramsmora by Monday is not working out. A weather front is coming from the north and we will be in Seglinge for 3 days. As we arrived in the harbour, we made fast alongside a big jetty, thinking that it was a good spot. We even…
As there is a storm moving south, we wanted to reach Seglinge in good time. We got up at 6am and were off in a glorious moning atmosphere. Good wind and various snacks took us to Seglinge where we made fast at 3 o’clock.
I have been here before, but it is still scary. A very tiny entry, marked by a cardinal buoy, that marks a safe passage that is 2,4 m deep. As the depth soundser counts down, I always question my cardinal buoys. YBY is west, YBY is west, YBY is west.
Michi asked me, whether there are seals in this area. I said yes, but that you can usually only sea thier heads in the water. He accepted the challange and 5 minutes later he spotted one on land.
We did not have the obligatry sauna yesterday evening, as we are anchoring in a little bay. Instead Finland is offering uns a beaitiful archipelago sunrise.
After a week it is time to say good bye to Tallinn. And we left in style. The first 23 miles were on a truly speedy keel, as we hardly made less than 6,5 to 7 knots. I think Akka got bored after a week in the harbour and wanted…
