Another failed attempt at staying on Fifång

Once again, the plan was to get out, cruise to Fifång, and re-try mooring in a natural harbour. Once again, things didn't go as planned.

After starting rather late but with barely enough wind to get steerage under sails, the wind suddenly picked up and headed me from the moment I left the second inlet after leaving Grödinge båtklubb until the moment I rounded Fifång.

When I arrived in view of the first inlet in Fifång, I noticed the presence of too many boats to attempt to moor there with any kind of confidence and low pressure. So instead, I pushed forward to the south side of Fifång. However, with the growing sea and the fatigue starting to sip in, I thought it's better to simply round the island, put the wind in my back and head back towards the marina. I thought I might find a suitable place for mooring on the way, but every suitable inlet was busy, so I simply glided back to Grödinge båtklubb and took back my mooring on the bridge around 10pm.
