Blue-green algae seen from the #ZERO #sailing boat. You can also see the huge carpets of blue-green algae from the satellite. They tend to form in the Baltic Sea in August, as the Baltic Sea reaches 20 degrees in many places and the nutrient input from agriculture favours the growth of theese algae.

Yesterday, when entering the Sound off #Copenhagen at Helsingoer, this freighter let out white smoke. At first I thought it was on fire, but after 5 minutes it stopped. Presumably it was burning heavy fuel oil that it is no longer allowed to use to enter the harbour. #sailing #Zero #pollution

We had a reasonable sailing day with a stern wind and waves that rocked the boat quite a bit. Fortunately, nobody got sick. Have you ever felt sick while sailing? In the evening we were rewarded with a fantastic sunset. I love the endless northern summer light. #zero #sailing #sunset #sweden
