 Today we start to the third leg of the Baltic Sprint Cup. It will be a short leg, tomorrow we expect to be already in Gdynia (POL). At 11:00 we will leave with a sail parade and afterwards start to the third leg of 111 nm miles distance. Weather predictions indicate a light Northerly wind of 10 to 20 knots. So it could be a nice ride down to Poland.
We have really enjoyed the stopover, in Klaipeda even though we were moored in the industrial harbour in between container terminals and large freighters.  The reason for the nice ambient we had, was the annual Klaipeda Sea Festival that gave our stay over a special touch. Many people, rides, a Ferris wheel and many different food, like "Bratwurst" ;-) made us forget that we have to sail a race the next day. The ambient reminded me of the "Kieler Woche". On friday we had a long bicycle ride and some swimming for relaxation.
On Saturday we finished the preparations on the boat and in the evening joined the price giving and a nice sail party.
Now we will go to the skippers meeting.
More tomorrow from Poland...
