A great summer holiday on the boat (and a grounding...). With pics.

We then stayed around Savonlinna http://maps.google.fi/maps?f=q&sour...=61.870882,28.8731&spn=0.112009,0.214577&z=12 for the next two weeks enjoying the atmosphere, dinghy rides and picnics.

Casino marina with city centre behind. Sadly this may be the last summer for the marina in this place as they are building a motorway where the trees are :(

A nice oak fishing trawler of danish origin (sorry to be so dramatic, but I though it looked better in BW).

Smoked vendace was something of a novelty for the kids.

We did have a couple of heavy showers. Quite a bit of water in the air.

Despite our little misfortune we had a great holiday. I big positive surprise was that compared to last year, kids had grown enough to make boating that bit more enjoyable again. Thanks.
