1st September and our last leg back to Augustenborg. The wind was quite strong, and right on the nose. The water was quite rough as we cleared the south of Aro, and it didn’t get much more comfortable until we reached Augustenborg fjord. But the last sail of the season down the fjord was very pleasant.
We met up with several CA colleagues who had already got back, and the main talk was of how awful the weather had been during the summer.
Despite the weather we had still sailed well over 700 miles, and most of the places we visited were new to us. We had enjoyed the Rally, and the ruggedness of the SW Swedish coast, and all that remained was to put the boat to bed for the winter, and plan for next year!
