After breakfast and a little stroll into town where we grabbed the first fika (coffee break) of the trip we cast off our lines about 11am, heading north for a couple of hours to the first opening into the Baltic before turning to starboard and heading towards open water. I had calculated a six hour crossing but that was not factoring in the three hours it took us to reach the channel leading to the sea. We crossed under grey skies and calm seas motoring the whole way. About 6pm the skies cleared and as we entered the Mariehman fairway it was gloriously sunny and clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"750\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sailingarcturus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Neil-crossing-Baltic.gif?resize=1024%2C750\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sailingarcturus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Neil-crossing-Baltic.gif?resize=1024%2C750&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sailingarcturus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Neil-crossing-Baltic.gif?resize=300%2C220&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sailingarcturus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Neil-crossing-Baltic.gif?resize=768%2C562&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>I&#8217;ve got my crossing The Baltic face on&#8230;.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1108\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aIM7lqA1De8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>Kevin C doing the honors&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1108\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-8HfOFunHjI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption>Mariehamn, 11.37pm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"288\" height=\"384\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sailingarcturus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/POmmern.gif?resize=288%2C384\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1040\"\/><figcaption>In the shadow of a giant: the magnificent Pommern\n<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We tied up in the shadow of the Pommern about 8pm for a total passage of 9 hours.

Not just the facilities at the ASS Marina (\u00c5land Sailing Society), but being docked in the shadow of the beautiful Pommern, a very impressive, Glasgow-built four-masted tall ship that plied the Cape Horn trade route to Australia in the 19th century before being retired as a museum.
