To the Winter harbor - Part 1

It happens every year too soon. October gets closer and closer and even it feels like it is perfect for sailing you still need to think about the Winter. Now, last weekend of September after careful weather window watching we decided to start our way to the Winter harbor. First leg was to Kropsu where we arrived in full darkness, only to overnight and as the Sun rose we started our way to Kemi. We knew that the strong wind was approaching from the South and that we needed to keep up minimum 5 knots per hour. First motoring, then sailing, we got to Kemi in decent winds. The heavier weather started only couple of hours after our arrival.

Under Aurora Borealis


We have never before seen Aurora Borealis reflecting from the sea. What an amazing night that was!

Catwalking




What jumped here? A frog?

Yes, it is a frog! The first mate did not allow me to contact with the frog...

Big in Kropsu

Weather forecast for last weekend was very promising and it was really a great weekend. Check out the pics from our weekend at Kropsu, a local island I had never before visited.







First mate brought couple of fine Suillus luteus for me to check. OK.
