A strange thing happened as we sailed to Kihnu. Millions of insects bothered us and it was not just one sort of creepy-crawlers, all sorts appeared quite suddenly. Weirdest thing: As we arrived land they were all gone!?! Maybe word got around about those excellent Austrian sailors and the chance…

As we got to our destination in Estonia we saw some incredible sea smoke. It is caused by very cold air moving over warmer water. Or was it the other way round? Anyway, it made for a dramatic entry.
