Blido

Today was again a lovely summer day with light winds. We had more following winds than yesterday so our Code 0 came to good use. It was unfurled and fuled a number of times as we tried to sain as soon as we had some wing. We also set a new record sailing for a long time 28 deg from the apparent wind and almost laying our mark.

An old freighter used to sail timber and firewood to Stockholm. There were hundreds of this type at the turn of the last century.

The thermal wind picked up after lunch and we made good speed north along a winding fairway from Fjaderholmarna (fjäderholmarna) through Finnhamn up to Blido (Blidö) where we spent the night.
