It was raining when I left Tallinn and most of the way, but in the area nearby the dashpoint it was dry and not even a single drop of rain fell on me during the whole day that i spent there. The dashpoint had fallen on the easternmost island of Pakri archipelago, across the 3km wide strait from mainland. It's basically not deep between there and if you go from the right place at the right angle then, according to the map, it should possible to cross strait Kurkse on foot. But if it's cold and stormy and you loose your way then you may easily drown, like it happened to 14 people on 11 September 1997.
It would have been possible to reach to 500m from the point by sea, but as it would have been basically in front of the doorstep of a household, I decided to disembark little bit further towards north-west, next to an old wooden boat-wreck. The point was in forest and there was nothing interesting around the place. After having reached successfully to the destination, I decided to visit also the western island of the archipelago, where I was greeted by a dead cow laying on the ground at the place where I landed. As the island was lacking dashpoints, I just went to a randomly self-generated point that happened to be on a meadow with some bovines on it. There's 6 people in total living at the archipelago and I didn't happen to meet any of them during my visit.

In memoriam for the soldiers that died during the attempt to cross the strait on foot
It's not the boat that I used to reach to the islands :)
I'm sorry for posting this, but it's the first time in my life to see a dead cow
