The siren

I've arrived 🎉🎉

OK, I've skipped a few days, so sum up!

First, I thought I would stay the entire day in Stenskäret, but a cancelled meeting, a rather slow day at work, a strong wind and a calm forecast for the next day made me change my mind. So I left Stenskäret in a strong breath, with one reef, at some point I had to take a second one. But after a while I was able to round a piece of land and from there it was just broad reach all the way until the archipelago. And after that I was able to go to one of the islands I particularly like in this archipelago. I spent the entire Friday there, but alas (or not, depending on your point of view) there is no connection or very little on this island. I was a problem to try to get the forecast for today but… well it was wrong anyway 😂🤣

So today I set up to go “home” around 2pm, it was going all fine until the last stretch of the channel to reach Luleå, it was narrow and with a really odd heading wind that was disappearing at times. I had told myself that if I didn't manage to clear that part by 6pm, I'd start the engine to do it, but turns out I managed to squeeze just enough to be out of it at 6:01. I was at the harbour around 7pm, then time to clean up and unpack some of my stuff. I walked back to the flat that I'd left mid-May, I think 🤔.

I'll need a bit of time to reflect and take in the trip, but I'm looking forward to roaming from island to island for the next 2 months. Then I'll have to think and plan the fall-migration South, but that's not for now 🤣
