Stina

Birdwatching with the old sailboat Stina in the Outer Reefs of Luvia, Bothnian Sea.



by Jan Eerala, Makholma Finland.


It was Tweezerman who started it.

Thank you, Jan!

    It's like he could be the only man left on earth. Tremendous feeling of (nearly) vacant space.

    One related video has Jan lying flat in the bottom of the boat because it is too cold to sit in the wind.

    Hello from Finland! As theres been no ice more for one week I got Stina launched today.

    She is a clinckerbuilt boat, traditional in Aland and the archipelago of east Sweden. LOA only 5,4 , but very steady. Gaff rigged without any ballast.

    Funny is, that after I got here into the water, I come in because it begun to rain, and found this blog.

    Jan, Finland

    We are very impressed with your boat and the beautiful, solitary waters you sail on!

    Thank's!
    There's more videos in http://baltic.fi (or better on Vimeo: www.vimeo.com/holotna . Hope I got it right)

    And of course there will be more, though they may be a bit boring when done singlehanded;)
