Friday. 4am start from Ruhnu Island and arrived in Riga 13.30. Sunshine and no wind, so very easy lounging around passage.  Big meal out to say goodbye to Mick, Louise and Simon. The locals are so friendly, lovely buzz to the city.
 
Saturday. New crew Scotty, Sam, Nick and Adam arrived midday, took a big walk through the old part of the city to an amazing market housed in four ex-Zeppelin hangers.  Did all our food shopping for the next couple of days using smiles and sign language. Great fun.
 
Leaving this afternoon for a night passage to Kuressaare on Saaremaa Island in Estonia
