Looking forward to getting away.

Our dry food has arrived, I finished  72+ waypoints over 725 km all the way to Riga marked in both GPS and maps so we can find our way with ease. Although some of thousands of Islands along the Finnish coast will make for interesting navigation.

The weather is still looking good for Fridays open crossing of 30 km to the first Islands before Åland. But the winds change that night to more head or side winds at 6-12 metres per second, so this will be a bit slower the following days. Some low pressure systems are due over the next week, so thats not such great news either.

One other small problem is my ear has an small infection, but I had it seen to yesterday and hope to have it under control.

Babs is in good shape, after paddling around the South Island of New Zealand I guess Ill be following her later on in the days when we start getting tired. I experienced this before after Norway's circumnavigation :-)

Cheers

James & Babs
