We waved Kaknästornet good bye in the distance and set our sails to Riga, Latvia. Joen, as always, looks thrilled to be going on a seven month adventure.
Admiring the shipping containers on our way out of Frihamnen’s harbour, aren’t containers the most romantic thing? One day we plan to travel on a container ship, we wanted to travel back home by one but they were booked out for the the next two years. Anyway, just on our way out to the open sea, we ran into….
…Martin! Martin is an old school mate of Joen’s and he even had the cabin opposite ours, creepy or coincidental? I kid, I kid, we had a lovely time with Martin, drinking beer and sharing our cultural obsession with Russia. Martin was on his way to Lithuania after reaching Riga but was planning a future trip to Russia.
