After several days of rain and storms, a high-pressure system was finally moving in. With the forecast looking promising, David and I decided to make the most of it and spend one last weekend in the archipelago before the sailing season came to a close.

On Saturday, I launched Luffa, and by evening, the guys came over so we could step the mast. The following morning, we cast off for a sail out into the archipelago. The season is finally underway!

It was the first weekend in May, and I had an overwhelming craving to get out on the water and sail. When I asked around, none of my friends were able to join, so I decided to go solo. The day was absolutely perfect, with a gentle northerly breeze—ideal for some peaceful solo sailing!

Once again this year, Ornö Runt was canceled due to the pandemic, but Berndt and I were so eager to sail that we decided to create our own race around Ornö—Luffa vs Huxflux. So, Marcus came up from Västervik, and we sailed down to Kolnäsviken on Friday evening, where we met up with Berndt. The next morning, the race was on!
