Island life( and family album )
Finland has the busiest and most challenging cruising grounds in the world.
180 000 islands and probably 10 x as many shallows !...a virtual minefield...
This arctic paradise apparently is the largest
(by quantity of islands) archipelago in the world !
The combined length of all shoreline in Finland is equal to
8 times around the world at the equator !
