Salmon Squadron 2020

 This past weekend, I took part in sailing club Pii's "Lohieskaaderi" (Salmon Squadron). We had three boats in total: Pii's Ida and Ada, as well as S/Y Saukko from Niihaman saukot, a scout troop.

The main event, as the name suggests, was cooking salmon with heat radiation ("loimulohi"). 

Here is a map of the stops along the way: 

On the first night, the battery for my flashlight died and I had no way to charge it. I don't want this to happen again, so I ordered USB chargable 18650 batteries. By the way, "Liitokala" is a finnish word and means "flying fish".

Sailing Seagull

I went on a 4-day sail on the schooner Lokki (=sea gull). Here are some photos I took:

Here is a map of our way points. Notice that the route is not exact, I only logged where we moored.

The trip was organized by Suomen Nuorisopurjehtijat (= Youth Sailors of Finland).
