Second night at sea. Unni has done a really good job keeping the boat on a steady course with support from Mattias. It´s now time for another turn towards northwest with wind from port. We change skipper and Mats takes the rudder and the rest go to sleep. Before Mattias go to bed he helps me with hoisting the main sail. At 6:25 Jan wakes up and takes over the steering.

A terrible day at sea. No winds and old swell. We check the weather forecast and it´s a small low pressure just south of us. If we keep this latitude we probably get some light south west winds. We decide to start the steam engine and go westwards. Depending on the winds we are considering the option to go directly to Petershead on the Scottish mainland. Shetland will not move away. Time for an early dinner. Today’s menu is pasta with bacon, corn, crème fraiche and garlic. Unfortunately we found the red wine after we were finished.
