Monday - Gulf of Finland, en route from Tallinn to Porkalla, Finland
Dinner at Von Krahli Aed restaurant, first night in Tallinn - smoked fish plate, cold cucumber-mint soup and a nice Riesling - a perfect light meal after a long, long flight.
Tallinn
Our Estonian flag
The Wesilind in Elisaari (possibly the most beautiful of our overnight spots)
6/20 - en route to Pihlajassari
Barnacle geese on Pihlajassari
The bow of Kikka3, our neighbor on the dock at Pihlajassari, with her birch bough decoration for Midsummer's Eve - and a late arrival (this would probably be around midnight, the sun did set but it never got entirely dark).
Salty dog!
Beautiful wooden boats on Suomenlinna
Many more to come - I've just begun looking through my pictures. What a beautiful place for a summer sailing adventure!

Very cool.
Thanks for sharing - looks like a great trip. And very different from the usual tropical venues. But I guess the sailing season is pretty short.
A quiet, beautiful, and apparently uncrowded place to sail in Europe in mid-summer.
Estonishing.
Estonishing, and finntastic, too - we actually spent a little more time in Finland than Estonia. It was glorious, but everytime I starting feeling jealous of the locals, I would just think about the winters that they have to suffer through to get these magnificent summer days & then I wouldn't feel so jealous anymore.
Great looking trip! I look forward to the rest of the pics.
Thanks for sharing. Looks like good wind.

Great photos. Are you Finnished with the puns yet?
Possibly for the moment, but don't hold me to that on a long-term basis (especially with Oh Docker back in Blogger's good graces)!
Can't wait to see more!
Were you there for white nights?
