Stor-Saimen paddling, Juni 2022

Stor-Saimen paddling, Juni 2022.

Årets insjöpaddling startade och slutade i Partakorki i Savitaipale kommun. I början var vädret inte det bästa; regn och blåst, men redan halvvägs visade norra Stor-Saimen sin soliga sida. Här finns otaliga fina sandstränder och lägerplatser. Det blev fem paddlingsdagar och 141 kilometer.

Midsommarpaddling, Juni 2021

Midsommarpaddling, Juni 2021.

Årets insjöpaddling startade och slutade i Anttola, ca. 30 km sydost om St. Michel. Det var glest med båtar, kajaker och människor under midsommarveckan ute i skärgården. Vädret var i överlag bra, om man vill klaga så var det lite onödigt hett. Med kajak söker man ibland vindskydd i lä av holmar, den här gången sökte vi skugga. För min den blev det 191 km på 6 dagar.

Sailing in Lake Saimaa, July 2011

This summer we decided to experience what the inland lakes of Finland had to offer. First we had to sail south through the Gulf of Bothnia, the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland towards russian waters. After passport checks at the border we would have to make our way up the Saimaa canal and into finnish territorial waters again.

This was a one and a half month journey and we had four different crews helping us out along the way. Everybody took photos and after sorting through all of them, here's a small selection. Click the first photo after the map to start the slideshow.
