Autumn gale, 7-9 October

This weekend, a gale was announced over the Stockholm archipelago. A good opportunity to stay home and rest a bit. But not with two visiting friends from Austria and Croatia!

8.5 knots with back winds...
Beaufort 7 (13 m/s, 26 knots) expected on Saturday night.

Weather 4D, Saturday night
We find an unexpected number of boats in Sandham marina, as everyone is looking for a good shelter for the night. We are then the last one to make it for the day and end up at the extremity of the jetty, directly exposed to the winds. Amazing how little it shows on pictures, but i can assure you that none of us slept during the night.


 Sunday morning, we get out to the open sea for a good gliding session, all around 8 knots.


Aleksandar and Bernard in charge
Nice autumn colours
