difficulty of this stage
is 3 out of 5
The challenges here are different from open ocean sailing. But we still have to cover 40-50 nm per day in average, and we'll be dealing with parts of open water, intricate coastal navigation, potentially strong tidal currents, and changeable weather conditions typical of northern latitudes.
Late May typically offers a lot of sunshine, but conditions can change rapidly and we may encounter some fogs. As we sail northward, we'll experience increasing daylight hours.
