Slowly drifting to Borgholm
With next to no wind, I still tried to go ahead. At the end of the day I managed to reach Borgholm.
Well, in the morning the forecast did not seem so much better than the previous day… I still decided to get going (fashionably late…) with the idea of either going to Kalmar or Borgholm. I hadn't much hope to reach Kalmar and well there is a castle to visit in Borgholm so that wasn't so bad as backup plans go.
But there was really little wind at first. After about an hour on the water, I reached a top speed of 1.5kts… I did some harmonica, realised that my beard needed some trimming to keep playing, did that, wrote a few entries on this logbook, and waited… There wasn't much to be done but wait.
At some point, though, a small breeze built up, and I finally had a bit of speed. That breeze carried me almost the entire rest of the day, with some variations in speed and orientations, of course.
Some visitors in the morning.
All quiet out there, but funny clouds.
After hours of super slow progress, we are moving! Yoohee!
