(21.06.) After a very restless night with thunderstorms, heavy rain, and gusty winds, we were awakened by the anchor alarm around 6:00 AM.
The wind had shifted to the northwest, causing the boat to leave the set swinging circle and triggering the alarm.
The anchor held superbly throughout the night.
Since we are already awake, we have breakfast and weigh anchor around 8:30 AM. It's a tough job, as it got deeply embedded during the strong winds last night.
We leave our anchorage heading southeast, thus also leaving Sweden. Just a few miles from our anchorage begins Finland.
With a fresh westerly wind, we continue southeast in choppy seas towards the harbor of Vatunginnokka. Around 4:00 PM local time, we dock at the guest pier.
Finland has its own summer time, which is 1 hour ahead of Central European Time.
