Description of the day

During the night we managed to round Savage Islands, making sure not to get caught in the hazardous cliffs. Freaky waves have been crashing into and over the boat all the time, the biggest felt like we were being rammed by a bulldozer. One man had to constantly be ready to run the bilge pump. The cabin is damp from seawater breaking in just about every time we opened the hatch. So tired of being wet. Some Pink Floyd under the full moon lifts the mood!

Coalition Clean Baltic- Save the baltic porpoise

Harbour porpoises are also exposed to underwater noise from heavy shipping traffic and fast leisure boats. For the Baltic Sea harbour porpoises to recover, we need more areas where these activities are restricted.
