I got out of town today. Gerald worked from home recuperating from his cold, so what did I do? Stay home and nurse him? No - I went out to sea instead. It's actually one of the last warmer days, I'm guessing (~60-F) and so I took an afternoon sightseeing boat out around the Gulf of Finland into the east archipelago. Since he had his sail last week, we're even now. We do hope to get to one of the summer restaurants before they close for the season too. I'll post the two I saw here. They are out on small islands near Helsinki and you catch a boat out to them from Market Square where I caught this ride. I was out for just under two hours, and what a change of scenery in such a short time. I'll post pictures of island saunas, the granite that underlies this whole area, a tiki hut someone is building (I'd like to see what that looks like in five months), and the old market from the water. I didn't wear quite warm enough gear but it was invigorating! The schooner that sailed by was so beautiful - I think her name is Astrid.
