We thought yesterday that it will be a leisurely sunset cruise from the fastland to Tankar but we ended up tacking in gusty 7-9 m/s weather. What a swift ride! However, the point I want to make is that Tankar is one of my favourite harbors and the crew loves it too. The vacation can be declared to have started!
I spent this weekend at the cabin. The blackflies have arrived. The mosquitos cannot scramble my well developed furcoat but the blackflies can. And afterwards their bites hurt. I skipped my evening outings completely and this morning I only very quickly went outdoors. I decided that it is time for the sailing.
Friday evening the first leg of the transport sailing took us to Marjaniemi. It happened to be a modern literature and music festival. The marina was full of boats and we had opportunity to hear three artists. Kube made me retreat to down below but Tuomas Kyrö book readings with nice music inserts and Reino Nordin music brouhgt me back to cockpit to enjoy the harbour life with many dogs and active seagulls.
