So we survived from our adventure voyage from Turku to Vaasa. We were ran into allmost any kind of weather during our trip; from dead calm to storm, from rain to sunshine. The yacht behaved very well and stable, I fell in love in her during the sail despite I was a little bit keyed up in the beginning how she will act with her new master.

Of course there were a couple of exiting events mainly on tuesday for we crave the speed in tailwind and did not reef the main sail in time. Then when we turned to crosswind we did not manage to reef safely anymore so we had to made emergency lay down for the main. Well, the jib carried us allmost at the speed of 6 knots in heavy wind so we did not miss the main too much. In last sailing day (on friday) we recieved the kind of request for "administrative assistance" from boat-police to observe the sea very sharply for there were a boat capsized in the area we sail at that moment.

But well, the voyage is over and the yacht is in her new home port and I hope we will meet the favourable winds with her in our shared journey.

Oh now I realize it is your boat, it just looked so short and small from the small side angle perspective from the rear.
