I had a mission. The vessel had to be moved from our home marina to the winterization site. This was a challenge. This was in towards the end of the August. The approaching fall means frequent and heavy winds. Finding a suitable slot is not easy. I checked weather forecast from all the available sources, frequently. To get all the facts. With all the available data I made decision: This is the weekend. I ordered my crew to skip their daily hunting and gathering routine on Friday. They did. We woke up before sunrise. Execute! The travel commenced - the first and the longest leg of our Oulu-Kokkola journey started.

| The night before we spent in Varjakka. This is 5.30 am. |
 |
| We headed towards west. The sun rose and started to catch us from east. |
 |
| Hailuoto ferry bathed in the morning sun. |
 |
| This beacon serves seagoing on Hailuoto coast route. |
 |
| We leave Marjaniemi behind us - we are at sea! |
 |
| After 12 hours our destination is visible in the horizon. |
 |
| Approaching Maakalla. |
 |
| Moored. Time to wake up for me! |
 |
| I love new islands. |
 |
| I am full of energy after all the sleep. |
 |
| Night falls on Maakalla. |
