We’ve left Lähteelä and are running down the east coast of Porkkala, bound for Helsinki and home. It’s been a great holiday, with lots of adventure and new experiences. It’s strange to think that it’s been two and a half weeks, although the first days do seem a long time ago.

The Turku archipelago was very beautiful, but as Eve commented the islands and coastline around Helsinki are just as good and a lot more convenient to visit.

So, would we do it again? Certainly, though a bigger and roomier boat would make it even better. We’d hope to spend more nights in ‘natural harbours’ and fewer in ports. And we’d be even more careful about being caught out by heavy winds…
