14:15 – In Linnansaari Island small boat’s dock
My fear was unnecessary. The boat just fit the dock.
I hiked to a cliff which gave a great view of the lake.
16:00 – Nice steady winds – not big, but keeps us moving.
17:00 – Moored to rocky island. Coffee break and swimming – feeling free. You don’t have to be rich, (with money) to complete your dreams!
13:08 – Friday the 13th. Beautiful morning, no clouds and the sun warms nicely. After breakfast I headed back to the harbour where I started. This trip is going to end soon. It´s time to start planning the next one.
The Ocean Explorer is a tried and tested microcruiser and sleeps one adult and a child or two skinny and very friendly adults.
This is a tiny boat and should only be used on well behaved inland rivers and lakes. It is certainly NOT a sea boat.
NB - important - the Ocean Explorer must be sailed with the hatch closed at all times, this is because the interior is the bouyancy. In the event of a capsize the hatch will keep the water out long enough to get the boat righted.
Pertuu & Surprisingly n0n mutinous crew!
