9 September 2017 - Marstal to Burgstaaken

Given the forecast for lots of windy weather over the next week, this seemed like a good day to get all the way back to our winter base. A shame to have you rush, but better than getting stuck somewhere for several days. Started with good sailing under full rig - finished with good sailing under one reef. In between it rained a lot and the wind went light, so we motored for a while. Our route crossed the ship route from Kiel to the Eastern Baltic, so we saw several ships. None were monsters as they don't fit in the canal. We did not need to avoid any of them.
