The yankee sails!

"To young men contemplating a voyage, I would say go."    -Joshua Slocum

Photos from a 5-day cruise in the Finnish archipelago aboard Iiris.


Our skipper, Dave, loads provisions onto Iiris, our 13 meter home for the next several days

Kevin and Esa in the cockpit

A bit of wind, "Cut the engine and raise the mainsail!"

Greenhorn at the helm of Iiris in the archipelago


Ella takes the wheel as Laura watches on as we cruise the archipelago


Lying around in the cabin

Winds have picked up and we're keeled over


On land and out for a hike among the rocks

The small community on the island (pop. 10) hosted a midsommer party where 3 generations of musicians entertained a lively bunch of sailors and locals full of crawfish and schnapps

Boats landed at the harbor

Back to sea in the Baltic


Found a nice spot at the bow with the main and jib carrying us through back home to Naantali
