Iceland, Finland & Estonia: Kustavi to Korpoo

I left Peterzen's Boathouse after breakfast and rode the short distance to the ferry dock where I had to wait for the 10:10 boat. This meant that all the other tourers arrived and we began to take shape as a group.

The day's forecast was accurate and the rain which had been constant during the night tapered off around 9:00 and was replaced by sunshine, a few clouds and wind which got quite strong by noon.
A couple of the ferries kept being blown off course and having to back off and make several attempts to dock.

There were six ferry crossing today, the longest ones being 45 and 30 minutes trips with the boats themselves having little seating areas and cafes.

Our last leg to Hotel Nestor had the wind at our backs with rolling hills and a few speedy downhills.

Dinner was included at this venue and it was first rate; beef tenderloin, roasted vegetables, potato croquettes, bread with pesto spread, and a berry dessert with small puffs of white chocolate mousse and thumb-sized meringues. Breakfast is due in a couple of hours and I expect it won't disappoint.
