Just can't keep Jim off the water

In Helsinki it is overcast and yes, we have some summer showers. We get our rain slickers and head down to the harbor to find a place to eat. We want to see the lindaline fast ferry “Merlin”. As we look over at the big red catamaran, I say to Jim;

“What’s that small green boat tied up to that rather large yacht?”

Jim exclaims;

“That’s the King of Norway’s 8 meter!”

HRH is an Olympic sailor and is coming to Helsinki for the 8 Meter World’s.

 We see the captain of a dining cruise boat standing outside her yacht. 

 She encourages us to take the dinner cruise. Jim says; Let's go!

 3 million saunas in Finland for the populaiton of 5 million! Here is one in the Helsinki Archipelago

 Onboard,we see these mother-daughter tourists from Milan, Italy - We meet them as we disembark - what fun people!
This morning we find them at the table beside us at breakfast at our hotel!
