What route would those who've done it recommend for sailing to the Kiel canal to get through to the Swedish archipelago?
Straight from Dover/ Ramsgate across to Scheveningen or thereabouts? Not sure I can brace myself for the slog right the way to the Elbe in one. Where is worth stopping along the Dutch coast or Frisian (Freezing?) islands? Call me a fair-weather sailor, but the prospect of all that North Sea bashing is putting me off the destination...
Once my keel is past Kiel, the whole venture has a greater appeal to me...
I'd be going in the summer.
