East of Sweden: Wind force ??? [14] 

High winds were expected, but I was in between the islands, and the winds were from the back. So no problem. Until I took a wrong route, the old route of yesterday was still on my watch, and I followed it too far back. I had to do a bigger crossing. It was just a few kilometers, but with a wind force 6+++ it was a bit over the edge. After that crossing I could go on for a bit, until I had to turn upwind in more open water again. Too much waves meant I had to stop at one of the many islands that were around. A power boat race gave some amusement, but the island had nu suitable camping spot at all!
The wind died later in the evening, which meant I could sail on, into a nice bay, where dinner and a nice campfire awaited. Thinking about if this will be the last evening out?
