#1: Confluence point (view from south)

(visited by Michael Woessner, Anja Wiehler, Anja Köhne and Ralf Looser)

20-Jun-2015 -- Following the now real tradition, the visit of another confluence point ranked high on our to-do-list of this year's summer sailing trip.

We chose the beautiful "skärgården" on the west coast of Sweden all the way up to the southern border of Norway.

With a beautiful westerly breeze we headed for the confluence point south west of the Southern Lauer island.

Again land was approaching quickly, so we needed to elegantly tack away.
