What a calm sea the Swedish blokes are having, Petrov where do you keep yourself in such calm weather "home" as it seems you only shows snow and freezing conditions like you where living over here

That`s some parts of Swe (archipelago), even if the sea is lower than the Atlantic it`s not nicer.
A week ago we had 12 m/s norht wind, right in bow and around 2 1/2 m waves and only 4 m in between.
Terrible sea, everything is shaking loose on the boats you just waiting for the engine to say hi to the fishes.
Last year the Gotland runt (hughe sailing competition, like Fastnet race) had around 350 boats and 14-18 m/s in 2 days, during the first 2 days 60% went in to harbour, not because they are unproffesional, everything falled of the boats, riggs broke, hull cracked etc etc.
Short high waves is not very funny.
