Sunday. Mixture of sailing and motoring through the Finnish archipeligo, 31 miles, to Hanko, a big sailing centre.  Niels and Jonas, my cousin Anne-Cathrine's sons from Norway, joined us in the evening, having taken the train from Helsinki.

Monday. Foul weather, full on rain and wind, boat full of wet waterproofs. Suddenly at 4pm the wind dropped and the sun came out. Did an easy 30 mile trip into the archipeligo towards the Aland Islands and anchored in a small bay.  Big chicken curry for supper.
