Summer days

A few summer photos.

I've been on the shore of the baltic for a week or two. Here are some photos:

You see how narrow that bit is? One sailing boat went through that, and the next 5 or so nautical miles (which aren't all that straight, and which are as narrow as this bit) with the spinnaker up. Wheee! No pic, though, cos I didn't have my camera that time.

This fog hit suddenly, after a very sunny day: it rolled in from the sea. Very nice, it was.

Another day, another short while on the water in our outboarder:

Doing 25 knots past two sailboats, one of which is the brown-sailed one.Pic: Doing 25 knots past two sailboats, one of which is the brown-sailed one.

I'll put a few of these up as background images in another few weeks. Let me know which you'd like, of them.

Skeeters, not a problem this

Skeeters, not a problem this drougthy summer. Also, not all that much of a problem on the windy shores of the baltic.
Horseflies, not all that much of a problem on the windy shores on the baltic. Inland, I just cover up from top to toe, or slap away.
Ticks, just check all over before bedtime, they like to attach overnight.
Others, shrug. Not a problem in the archipelago.
