You have some fantastic stories to tell! It must have been so much lonelier back then, although as our experience shows, there are drawbacks to having access to satellite communications too. Wishing you a lovely retirement, hopefully with some sailing in the beautiful Gulf of Bothnia included too.

In those days there were no satellites nor internet, so our problems were less technical. (I did write a journal, which I now enjoy reading or sharing.) But otherwise, what you described about all that had to be done is very familiar, delays and all. We too had encounters with 2 storms. We could have disappeared without anybody ever knowing. And we too swore that we were never going to go back to sea – but we did. P.S. I am a Finn too, now spending my retirement in Kokkola, by the peaceful Gulf of Bothnia. Kiitos, tack!
