What?



Like mentioned before, our goal is to kayak the coast of Finland during the summer of 2010. Finland’s coast line is approx. 1300 to 1500 kilometers long and covers most of the western and the southern borders of Finland. The sea that surrounds these borders is called the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is bounded by the Scandinavian Peninsula, the mainland of Europe and the Danish islands.

Our plan is to paddle this distance from Tornio (the northern end of the coast) to Virojoki (near the Russian border in southeast Finland) in about 50 days starting in the middle of June. That’s not a very hardcore-pissing-your-pants-goal, but we are going to take it easy, enjoy the summer and leave the faster achievements to others who are more in a hurry.
