Just a quick word today because I'm gashed. Sails up for almost 11h, more than 12h of navigations that culminated in entering a narrow channel that led me to Axmar Brygga, where I'm spending the night.

After getting up early and being a bit slow to get on, I was finally able to leave Björn island and hoist up the sails in a low but steady breath which only lasted from about 9 until 10:30 or something. At that point and until almost 15:00, it was just long waits on a flat as a windless lake sea with the occasional small breath. So I mostly did some crochet and managed to break my crochet… I'll have to fix it later.

At last, the wind started to establish itself, but not on a broad reach as the forecast said it would, but darn close to close-hauled… but at least it didn't disappear again until I was almost there!

35.6 nm in 10h44! That's not winning any race!

The place is pretty and quiet, and at least I logged more than 30 nm today 🎉🎊!
