EmmiOn a sailing trip 🩵 Our boat club (the workers' sailing club of Helsinki, old school and not fancy at all) has a little island in the Porvoo archipelago. To sail here comfortably, takes (us at least) about 8 hours. So we often split the trip for 2 days and get to enjoy other islands.<br>
<br>
Life in the archipelago is unique, and a handful of people live here all year round. Many people have their summer houses here, so summers must be a completely different world... Most of the archipelago areas in Finland are Swedish-speaking, and as the Finnish-Swedish community tends to be very social, they just must help each other through the rough winters.<br>
<br>
The sea is stunning. It's lovely in clear sunshine, in the evenings, during rain and storm... We've been lucky with a lot of sunshine but unlucky with the winds. But we made it here in spite of the constant headwind 💪🌬<br>
