Boran's Notes
My first serious solo tour, after looking for real skippers to help him sail to Sweden.
No autopilot, no AIS and no marine radio on this trip. Generic VHF radio instead, Navionics app on two tablets, GPS watch on my wrist and an InReach satellite messenger for emergency communication.
Wearing my dry suit for better survival chances in case of falling overboard or sinking.
First pee break forced me to heave to, which I read about in the textbook.
Mooring in the Gedser marina was quite clumsy.
Quite proud about this first successful solo trip.
