We participated on a Sailing course last week and got over 30 hours sailing experience.  It's fun!  We were maybe 16 and had 4-5 teachers and boats so normally there was 3 in a boat with the guide.  All got to do all the things, being a captain, taking care of the robes in 'take off' and 'landing' and of course the sails.  I think we would manage if there was just Jouni and me on a sailing boat :D  By the way we were never in a same crew during the week.  Being a good or bad thing, not sure.  But both have now had the same training.

Yesterday we passed Kustaanmiekka.   The narrow inlet in island Suomenlinna where the big cruisers can be almost touched when passing by.  We had headwind only 3-4m/s and had to zigzag, some excitement for the day.  Training was arranged in Pyysaari, east from the city.  Boats were from 22 to 33 feet.  Good start for a new hobby!  Plan is to rent first a boat for a week or so and the maybe buy one.  Jouni is already sending me links of boats for sale....
