120 Nautical Miles in 19 Hours

We leave Gdansk after sunset and set course for the open sea to avoid Russian waters and being intercepted by the coastguard. By sunrise we have already completed a third of the distance. A steady westerly breeze pushes us through the sea at a constant pace of more than 7 knots. Towards the afternoon we finally sight land again and not much later we dock in the moat of Klaipeda's old castle. After exploring Latvia's largest seaside town, we set off for a peaceful anchorage in the nearby lagoon.
