Great to be here. I have followed your Forum for years and now was the right time to join you. We are looking for a bit larger trawler type boat. Could be NT, AT, Benetau Swift Trawler etc. someting with moderate to low draft.
I have been boating in the Baltic Sea for ages. Mainly in the outer Archipelago natural park. Our trips range from weekends to several weeks. Typically we stay in unhabited island, often several days in a row before moving to next island. Try to attach a photo of one favorite place. Might do some fishing, hiking, scubadiving, or just enjoy good coffee and scenery. There are just thousands of amazing islands. To be precise, about 40 000 if we include the small ones. That’s where my soul is at home.
Some nice features of the Baltic Sea: practically no tide and no strong currents. You can plan your trips so that you can get in a sheltered area easily in hour or two. In the Archipelago there are plenty of rocks and shallow areas. Makes navigation interesting. Especially if it gets foggy or dark, but I enjoy every second. Don’t know anything better than listening to the wind and rain (or snowing in late autumn) in a remote sheltered bay and drinking champagne with candle light!
I have to admit that part of my heart is in PNW, I just love the Puget Sound all the way to Victoria and would love to go to Alaska via the inside passage. The scenery with mountains in the background is awesome.
So, great to be here!
