Baltic Sailing

[roger]

I'min the Baltic again for the summer. Wehad a slow start because of bad weather in UK back in May but now are in Southern Sweden.It'sgreatandIcan recommend it to all -except heavy drinkers.Weather is currently good.Daylight hours are long. We typically pay less than ten pounds for a full servicemarina berth and the country is beautiful. Incidentally Holland and the canals were great,The German islands were fun (exceptfor force 10 -in harbour) and we enjoyed a taste of Denmark.Quite simply more of you ought to come.Theres a lot of room.

Re: what about the no-drinking tho?

Hm, this sounds like a decent spot - but possibly one to cross off the list. I do know some people who drink less than i do, but i don't kno any non-drinkers. What's the problem? Are they mad for roll-mop herring and Ryvita? I thought the baltic types liked stripping off and beating each other with twigs stark naked. They've just got to be smashed for that, no?

Re: what about the no-drinking tho?

I think it's somat to do with the cost of anything that is a diaretic. It is their way of taxing the pollution of their water treatment plants, lakes and seaboard. Thus this ecologically aware nation charge you about £40 for a bottle of scotch with other types of alcohol being similarly extortionate.
Still, you'll be ok after you've made another fortune on the aforementioned "dodgy land deal"/forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Are you thinking of sailing back at the end of summer, or will you be leaving your boat in Sweden for the winter?

Wait till the German school holidays start! Then you'll have to be in harbour by 3 if you want a berth.

But I fully agree, its a wonderful sailing area. Just don't tell everyone about it.
