East of Sweden: Longest open sea crossing (20 km) [6] 

After a short and clumsy day yesterday, I got good rest on my private island. The winds were very light, and, though the first part of sailing was upwind, the wind kept turning in my favour, so gradually the course I wanted to make came within reach.
It was scary, but also beautiful to cross the sea in this manner. The winds were light, and the sky looked stable. So I made a few big crossings, and made it to Landsort, where they had a shop, and even a restaurant that was open!
This was a big but very easy day, with about 45 kilometers covered, all easy and fast sailing. Since the wind was so stable and the sea so flat, I even pulled the hiking plank out for the first part. It is always more comfortable, but can't be done in a seaway.
