Seven sails forward

It must have been impressing to see the big ship leaving the harbor powered only by the wind in the sails. It was good to have an experienced crew, who could organize us. This is a beautiful part of sailing.

A day with some sun and some rain in between. Like the other days not so warm (~15C). This day brought a little bit more wind, since we were not just among a lot of islands but also on some open sea.

As the other days we had morning coffee, lunch and afternoon coffee with newly-baked cake (or buns) during the day, followed by dinner in the evening. Regarding the food way we had a luxury weekend, eating much more good food then in a normal week. It's good that you had to work hard in between the meals, to consume all the calories.

Tonight we arrived to the night harbor a little earlier, which gave us time for other activities. We launched the small boat for another kind of sailing, where you directly notice the effects of turning in different wind directions. Agreeing about how to handle the small boat was not something the sisters did all the time, but we're still friends afterward at least.

The evening ended with storytelling with the whole crew crowded in the smaller captain cabin.
