Luxury Expeditions on a Private Yacht

Winter morning at ÅSS Marina Åland. It is beautiful but a little bit chilly. Waiting for the spring to come!

Our neighbour is Pommern the only four-masted merchant sailing ship in the world which still is in it's original state. She was built in Scotland in 1903. Gustaf Erikson bought her in 1923 and brought her to Åland. Pommern carried grain from Australia, saltpetre from Chile and timber around Scandinavia. She did her last commercial voyage in 1939. Since 1952 she has been a museum ship.

Today we visited Åland Maritime Museum here in Mariehamn. What a place it was. The museum tells you a story about the islanders, the ships they build here, where the ships sailed, and what kind a lifestyle it was. Truely amazing place to visit. If you ever come to Åland this is the place to visit.

During the summer time you can also visit Pommern. She is the only four-masted barque in the world in original condition. There has never been done any large structural change to her.

Tankkipojat from Raisio came today to emty our black water tank. We have been a month now at guest harbour in Turku and it has been really nice to get to know the place. Turku has very nice restaurants, shops and we have enjoyd our time in here.
Winter is getting colder now and the temperature is getting closer to -10 Celsius. So it is soon time to head for locations surrrounded by open sea all around, maybe Jurmo, Utö, Åland.

Fresh from the oven. The bread has saute parsnip and honey, so the flavor should be a little bit nutty.

Sweet Hope is at DB-Marina in Taalintehdas. There are nice new pontoon docks even for bigger boats. This place will be full during the summer season. Nice small village with a few restaurants and grocery stores. During the summer time there is a farmers market right next to the guest harbour.

Today we had a sewage truck emtying our black wate

Today we had a sewage truck emtying our black water tank. Rehn from Tammisaari was good and professional. Called the company yesterday and they asked if we need it immediatelly, or is it ok if they come tomorrow. Today two men came with the truck and it only took 10 minutes to do the job.
However, finding a company for the job was not an easy task. Most of companies where we called did not have a nozzle what you need for boats. Thumbs up for Rehn!
The reason for needing a sewage truck is that most of the guest harbours are closed like Hanko Itämeren Portti. That also means the sea side sewage stations are not working. Pity because there are still people out with their boats. Maybe one day the harbours will not close sewage stations in September or October. One can always wish.
