A Thunderstorm and a meeting with a Pilot
21 July 2008 | V�ndburg, Ljugarn - Gotland
20 July
Woke up at 8 AM from a tremendous thunderstorm that kept us in the v-berth for a good hour-and-a-half.
The rain poured down like from a shower tap on full pressure.
A bit lazy as we were after the crossing, most of the day was just spent tinkering with all those odd jobs around a boat.
Late in the afternoon we took off for a slow sail to the little fishing port of N�rshamn, further north. we arrived at 10PM and hit the bunk almost immediately.

Left early to arrive Ljugarn at mid day. We are to team up with Staffan on 'Dorinda' here. S is a retired pilot and he sails a L-28. He is also the one who gave us the tip about The Curonian sea in Lithuania. He is now on his way there himself.
We had a potluck BBQ party at the dock in the evening, and had a very nice time. The mighty high pressure system seems to hae parked outside the Norwegian Coast now, and that usually means very stable nice weather and light variable winds for days to come. So we intend to enjoy life at its fullest, and just make short hops northward along this coast, until the winds will give us a fast and easy crossing to Latvia anf Estonia
