Last long paddle before the cold
Nineteen kilometres from Nagu to a bare skerry with one pine. Flat water until three, then a westerly that made the crossing home slow and wet.
Camping rules on the outer islands
Everyman's right covers a tent for a night, not a fire on bare rock. A small gas stove and a flat stone do the job without leaving a mark.
Midsummer at 23:40
The sun touched the water north of the island and came back up an hour later. We stayed on the rocks with tea instead of sleeping.
First launch of the season
Water at eight degrees, so a drysuit even on a calm day. Checked the skeg cable and the deck lines before anything else.
