We made some videos then and during winter we decided to produce some movies as a vlog with English narration. So far there are 5 videos, but every weekend we...

Eetu, it seems that you have been sailing for a long time now. We were on Björkö in 2001 when we bought our first boat and 2009 with the second. First time was interesting because it was blowing 8B for 3 days and nobody, even big yachts with strong engines, could leave the bay. The waves at the narr...

On Finnish chart we have seen (we believe) 1.7m on the entrace and our friend on a boat with 2m finally decided to moor outside. We thought it is better to write 1.5 in case s...
