Turku - Tallinn - Riga - Warszaw - Berlin - Paris - Italy

Having done my admin I wasn't keen on flying back, at least not with Vueling on the grueling flight from Barcelona - Helsinki that I had arrived with.

We followed onboard their track on the AIS and saw them going along with 40kts+, the first ones were arriving already on the 2nd Oct evening when others came in 3rd Oct assisted by their teams respective "tug" boats. One of them had allegedly ripped their mainsail as they had encountered 70kts winds off the Spanish coast.

Cannes - Valencia

On the 4th June morning we heave up anchor and depart Cannes for Valencia. Weather is fine for a change and it is nice to get to the open seas for a change from ports and marinas, albeit a short time.

M/y Fathom survey


I was asked to have a look at m/y Fathom in case interest would arise in purchasing her. Onboard I was welcomed by Captain Oscar Wollstein who showed me around every nook and cranny that was possible to see when afloat. She is a very interesting small yacht.
