We decided to postpone our departure by a week because of our jobs. And we had some plumbing issues onboard. Somehow it got a little busy before the holidays. Again. So we set off just before Midsummer and found ourselves just west of Helsinki on Midsummer eve. While everyone else was suffering from different shades of hangovers, we cast off pretty early on Midsummers Day, heading west as fast as the wind would take us.

Some picks from along the way. Check the captions for details.
