2010-07-25 Windy

The morning started with the normal rutines, cooking poridge and checking the weather. The first thing we saw when we woke up was a thick fog over Suomenlinna and as far east we could see. The wind was like yesterday blowing strong and we decided to rest untill the weather eased, the internet told that it would. Eeva and Oskar went for more sightseeing and some danish breads and Sigurd caught some more hours sleep. Around 13.00 the wind had eased a little and we felt like moving so we packed our stuff and ate lunch. Before we left we thanked the kind Tarja and said goodbye. The wind was blowing pretty hard but the route was in protection from waves by islands. We gave our best and paddled on untill 19.00, where we found a shelter to make a fire and dry some clothes. We stayed the night there and met 2 other paddlers that also had found this island.

Distance: Suomenlinna- an island outside Kallahti
Wind: 7- 14 m/s
Waves: 20- 50 cm
