And I'm off at 04:45. Attempting a solo sail from Helsinki to the Åland Islands. Some 150 nautical miles. Have done a 100+ before. Don't have getthereitis, hopefully. Let's see how it goes. Only worrying thing is where is fishing equipment like nets in the Gulf of Finland?
Easterly winds and a full moon made me do this now. Cloudy though. #sailing
@harald Det låter trevligt! Får önska dej förliga vindar!

@harald lovely trip so far, mind you, solo voyages over 24h are not that much about you - as long as you can manage your sleep schedule - but about what your autopilot can handle.

@jkmcnk true. Sleeping is an issue on longer trips. I'll hopefully be there at around 8 in the morning, so can in a worst case scenario manage with old eyes as they say here.

Wind is now SE 12-14 kn. Sunset is near, and moonrise too. Full moon tonight, let's hope it doesn't get too cloudy. Heard a near gale warning on VHF, hopefully I'll be behind islands by then.
