For a long time, the Baltic Sea has been considered dangerous for sailing and fishing. Winds in the sea are constantly changhing. In stormy weather, the fishermen's path was blocked by shallows at Cape Irbe and Cape Kolka. The rocky coast of Saaremaa is fraught with many dangers. Wind with strong gusts from the East in springs, and North-West in autumns. Nevertheless, there were courageous men in all times who despite the worst weather were going out to sea to return back with wealthy catch, thanks to their experience and knowledge.
