The fall has gone quickly and it is already Christmas. I planned to post about my summer sailings but so far that is only a plan. The fall was as usual, the boat preparation for the Winter and soon it is Xmas, time flies. Anyway, today I want to wish you relaxing and happy holidays!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been back to normal routine of life on land for two weeks, back from the sea. As always, it takes time to get used to the change from excitement of the new and inspiring marinas and moorings to uneventfulness of city life in my apartment. Fortunately, there are still summer weekends left to go spend outdoors. Most of the mosquitoes and black flies are gone so I can extend my outings to my own preference, without the annoyance of the black flies entering the non-furry part of my ears and biting painfully.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to share the sailing itinerary with you, and later I will return with the most interesting details.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started at Mustakari in Kokkola where we had sailed the vessel already earlier. Thanks to the friend who helped us with the weekend sailing from Oulu to Kokkola! It took an18 hours long sailing day from Marjaniemi to Mustakari including of course the shorter leg from Oulu to Marjaniemi. The summer sailing route was like this: Mustakari, Tankar, Bjuröklubb, Ratan, Mässkär, Tankar, Raahe, Marjaniemi and back to home at Oulu. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Weather was not as bad as last year: first part of the sailing it was very hot with light winds and the second part was stormy. The hot weather ended just before it was about to become too uncomfortable. You know, my fur is not made for 30C temperatures, really ... Even the crew with less developed fur started to complain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The strong northern winds and the powerful waves kept us in the marina for several days. However, this was really not bad as we had been guided in Mustakari that Ratan is well protected from all the winds and has all what is needed for an extended stay. The days in Ratan turned out to be best part of the sailing. I will report in detail! </div>

Hello All,<br />
<br />
my mid-Summer was mostly like in the picture. The rain or the blackflies kept me inside the cabin, and it was good time for sleeping well. My Spring has been quite normal, enjoying outdoors at my cabin and waiting for the sea season. I have created several posts but those have been left unpublished due to the fact that the app has not worked for the first mate who helps me to blog. It is still unknown if the issue was in the app or in the user of the app. However with this post I want to tell that I am feeling well prepared for the adventures at the sea once the crew is available from their duties on the land.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are three very active squirrels frolicking at my cabin and they are so much entertainment and excitement. However, the things get complicated as the daylight this time of year is not very abundant. Normally I have my daytime sleep from 10 am to 5 pm but now I have adjusted my schedule so that has basically the same timing as the day light. So I wake up normally around 7 am and then I start waiting for the birds arrive at the feeding station (just watching through the windows) and activating the crew for outings. And I continue this until it gets dark again. I might have short naps in between to keep myself alert as it requires a lot of concentration to follow the squirrel activity. Then, I am active again between 9 pm and 11 pm. </div>

Finally we reached Selkäsarvi, an island in Bothnial Bay national park. I was really eager to go out to the island, both exploring and trying to find cooler places. In the evening we did a nice tour, and on the old helicopter? platform is was nice to chill out. But it was still too hot...</div>

The new experience to our summer sailing was crawling a river, the mighty river Torniojoki that streams between Sweden and Finland. Few nautical mails upstream from the sea towards Tornio and Haaparanta there is a nice marina. The name Toranda is probably a combination of the names of those two towns. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marina is very nice with great facilities and there is good crew food at the restaurant. It was Sunday evening in our arrival so it was very quiet, with only one other boat, so we got to enjoy all the beauty of the river almost alone. In sunset the temperature had reached bearable levels under 25C so it was good time to explore the grounds of the marina. My favourite feature was those nice huts with good surface to chill on and observe the river view. Also, the huts have seats to set your crew on, very considerate :-)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At river Torniojoki the first mate got nostalgic. Swimming in the river reminded her about her childhood summer trips to her cousins who lived on the banks of the other mighty northern river, river Kemijoki. She remembers the unlimited swimming in the river, how exiting and fun it was. Maybe it was the scent of the river water or special feel in the water that brought the memories? </div>

In Kemi archipelago I did something I have never done during daytime sailing. I woke up and wanted to come up to the cockpit. It must have been about the temperature, or that I am getting very senior in sailing. The first mate was very nervous as I did not have my lifejacket. What if…??? However this question is complicated. When wearing the jacket I feel like that I cannot move my legs and I get very clumsy. That is not very safe at sea either. However I wore my harness and had the first mate in the other end of the line all the time, being alert. Please, my sea cat colleagues, let me know if you have found a lifejacket model that is comfortable to use! </div>

When the temperature got lower I really enjoyed the time outdoors. The unusual weather, first the early super-warm spring, then the heat, then thunderstorms and heavy winds got us thinking about the climate warming. Will every summer be like this? And if the sailing is never going to be like it used to be, something with fresh, pleasant air and refreshing water? </div>

Why to go to relax and sleep in the cabin if you can do the same thing nicely lingering in your local scrub vegetation? Also, if something needing immediate attention (you know those cute little moles and such...) would come up I was of course ready to react...</p>

Our sailing towards Kemi started with a short leg to the local island. There was action on the island, not so typical one. A group of local young bovines spend their summer there and maintain the island's pasture-like nature. We made special effort not disturb them as cows may get upset easily. Or should I say the crew purposefully stayed calm. I am always calm and composed, of course.</div>

Zzzzz....<p dir="ltr">We stopped our sailing earlier than expected. Already tiring 30 C was followed by thunder storms and too heavy winds are coming. Now I am on land and can report pleasant 20 C. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I have rested last couple of days as my favourite temperature is below 25 C and the higher was just exhausting. I did not feel like eating or drinking and just wanted to find a shade to cool down. The crew managed to temp me to want to eat and drink, and for temperature control I used moist towel on top of my coat. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Fortunately in the late evenings the temperature was under 25 C and I could do my explorations in the marinas and islands we visited. Oh I loved Selkäsarvi and was really disappointed that we had to leave early to make it before predicted afternoon thunders.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Our route was the following, quite short but nice: Kraaseli in Oulu, Iin Röyttä, Kemi Ulenius marina, Toranda at river Tornio, Selkäsarvi, Iin Röyttä and back to home marina. More pics will follow.<br><br></p>

Personally I enjoy a bit lower than 30 C. Fortunately we got some N winds and last couple of nights have been quite nice.</p>
