@remaster yup, förvånansvärt varmt. 15-16 ⁰C I vattnet.

@MaryTheKnife tack. Nu är man mera erfaren och vet vad man inte skall göra.
@harald Riktigt bra! Det är så man lär känna sig själv på riktigt.

Arrived at 0700, exactly as Navionics predicted. The night wasn't that fun. The wind increased all the way, and the sea state even more so. It became quite unpleasant. Surfing wildly 8-9 knots down huge waves in darkness (cloudy), and no clue if there's fishing equipment up ahead. It worked out alright, I was in deep water and outside the smallest islands so I would have been surprised if there was any nets or some such.
Edit 26 hours, 155 nautical miles. Almost 6 knots average.
Sunrise after sleeping and working our sailing club's island for a bit. Apparently going back east, looks like 12-14 knots of southwesterlies today. Not sailing through the night, staying at our club's island at Hitis and enjoying a well deserved sauna tonight. 72 Nm to go today. #sailing

Kökar. Really old church ruins from the 14th century.

The Swedish empire had compulsory attendance to church. That's why all around the Finnish and Swedish archipelago there's never far between islands with a church or chapel.

The good thing about leaving at six o clock in the morning is that you can have a second breakfast!

It's really nice out here! I met a sailboat, a Swedish Aphrodite 29 that looked a little racy as well, also solo sailor. The only other boat I've seen since Helsinki.

I do prefer sunny Sunday before gloomy Monday. Don't think it'll be a long sailing say today.

The aptly named Dödören has several Soviet machine gun nests. The Hanko peninsula and surrounding islands was in Soviet control by the beginning of the continuation war. #ww2

@harald I look up all those islands on OSM, just out of curiosity. Thy look better on your photos ... Many of them could do with a OSM mapper visit, but what a place to be sailing!

@anderslund it's great, even in gloomy weather! Sailing beats land life every time. I have to visit these islands when I get a better dinghy. Gunnarsörarna supposedly has a lot of Soviet gunplaces as well.
