Across the Baltic






After a few wonderful days in Sweden we boarded the ferry for Finland. It left at 5:00 in the evening and cruised out through the Stockholm Archipelago for the first few hours passing countless tiny little islands, dotted with beautiful little houses and villages, some awesome weekend retreats for lucky Swedes. This is country where you would just have to have a small boat to explore and we passed numerous obviously lovingly restored launches and yachts, polished wood being a popular finish. For the first hours our ferry was cruising close by this other huge ferry but once out into the Baltic it veered off, maybe to Denmark?

The Northern summer sun was eeire on this trip, here is a photo taken on deck about 10:00 at night and the sun is still up, it finally set around 11:00pm. That is about as dark as it got for the rest of the night. The sunset just moved around the horizon until at about 03:00 it became a sunrise.

What did Guy think about all this? Not much, he was just chillin' with Mr Bee.
