Waters
An English sailing expert stated once that any British sailor would be ready to cut off another of their legs to get similar sailing waters around the Britain as we have in Finland. Our lakes have also been covered by foreign magazines and travel sites. The Finnish Lakeland is one of the best-kept secrets among the small boat cruising areas in Europe. I wonder if we Finns value our waters high enough.
