Not all who wander are lost

–
455.0 NM (91:05 h)

But maybe some are...

Not all who wander are lost...

... sometimes they have engine failures, electric problems or mental struggle too...

Am I lost? I'm not sure. I headed East thinking I'd get to Sweden quickly, find a shop there to sail on for my sea time. But... Things aren't turning out that way.

Being stuck in Marstal due to strong wind and a non-cooperative engine after that. But at long last, finally going sailing again…
