Today is one of these days – Bluewater Sailing! You could easily believe you are sailing The Baltic in July, if there is not the colour of the water. The Baltic on a good summer day, Air temperature of 24° and water temperature at 19°. We are in November here and heading further South, so I expect a bit more at later stage. Blue sky scattered with white cumulus, some bigger some smaller but leaving enought room for the sun to come through to make it a pleasant day. The main difference clearly is the colour of the water – damned blue, intensive but light blue as you can still watch through. The wave pattern is quite similar here at the moment compared to The Baltic after some storm gone through, somewhere far away. Long swell from far way mixed with the actual local wind wave. It is similar but not quite the same. Anyhow, the birds are also the same, saw some seagulls out here like in The Baltic, same same. No, there is no doubt, the colour of the water makes the difference, BIG DIFFERENCE. Once ashore I will add some photos here under this blog and I bet you anything that you cannot determine: The Baltic or Atlantic Ocean?!? Excluding the colour of the water.

Fair winds…
