This site is a guide to sailing in the Baltic. It covers the travels of Kissen, a Hallberg-Rassy 36, which has spent the last 5 years or so slowly crawling round the flesh-pots, sorry, beautiful locations of the Baltic Sea.

You can read our logs from 2003 until 2006 written as they happen. We went to Norway in 2007 but havent yet got round to discussing it. This year (2008) we've spent about 10 days on the boat due to pressure of work, but we hope to get to the one country we've not yet visited, Poland, next year.

We've also put together sections on our favorite countries. Each section has a clickable map leading to a page on our impressions of the various towns and harbours we visited. Note that you wont find navigation information here - just frank impressions of places worth going to (or not..). You will find links to other places that have the details.

We also have a section on How to get to the Baltic from the UK.

Finally, there are reviews of available Guides, Pilot Books and Charts. We also have sections on how to get Weather Information when you're in the region, and a bit about Communications.

Have a look round and enjoy yourself. Most of the photos can be seen in a larger format just by clicking on them.
