Jennie B - ARC Baltic - Bornholm to Visby, Gotland



After being wind bound, too much of it from the wrong direction, we finally set off towards Visby at 0400 on Sunday 13th July. We were in a group that were almost the last to leave as we waited for the wind to go westerly and carry us on our way. It went west with a vengeance and we had a rollicking down wind sail towards the south end of Oland. Several boats, including us, decided to go up the Kalmar Sound as the sea would be flatter in there - false hope. Eventually the seas and wind did calm down as we neared Kalmar. We stopped for a few hours in Kalmar to meet up with yacht Jubilare and to get some sleep and set off again this morning aiming to reach Visby this evening to join the rest of the fleet.
