Exit Paldiski





When we leave the harbour the swan floats around in the open water watched by one of the boatmen. When the pilot disembarks the tugboat rams the ship quite hard.

Paldiski- Estonia





Without troubles we sail from Ostrand to Paldiski in Estonia. I am tired and had enough. On the quay I nearly dissapear in the mud and people are unfriendly and speak only russian. A walk ends on a highway with cars speeding by. The philipinos ask wheather they are going to eat him. Who, I ask. That swan, stuck between the quay and the vessel. If you kill him, I kill you, the engeneer yells. Problem solved.. the swan stays alive, at least for now.
