But RASMUS – the god of wind –decided to blow against us
and so most of us tacked up the river another two hours..
A race course of fifteen miles brought us at the end more than sixty
miles on the log.
It was a great evening with speeches, prices, buffet, dancing and the
decision to meet us again in 2007 near Oslo in Norway.
Safe and dry, well feeded with glas wine in our hand we followed the
dia show – made by a photograper from the regatta boat- and were
much more proud, that we were part of this race.
On Sunday there was a guided tour by a professional to all the arcitectural
treasures of the town and it started a great fare well.
We started back to KIEL Germany and decided to go down the east side
via Poland ( we came up via Sweden and Gotland) and needed 19 days back
for nearly thousand miles to fix our boat in our homeharbour – visiting
Gdansk for one relaxing day.
At the end we all congratulate RIGA to this marvellous meetin and say
Thank You for all.
It was an unforgetable trip over six countries and 44 days with nearly
twotousand miles over the baltic sea with her short waves in a light
trimaran, who likes flat water and good wind.
