Island life

( and family album )







Island scenery




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 !

nor did I find anything in it to shed light on the matter.
