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.

Walking around a beautiful city by night is always very special. I try fit in a night stroll with my camera whenever I am in a spectacular place. Having the city to oneself in a quiet night atmosphere is very magical. Imagine my surprise, when I got up at 3am…
The corner next to the railway station and the food market is the aquivalent to Vienna’s Yppenplatz. Modern, colourful, surprising and cool. The difference is that in Tallinn it is about 5 times the size and sports loads of intersting street art and gourmet restaurants. Have I mentioned that I…
