The small Åland harbours

We are now in Seglinge, a small harbour which is full with 19 boats. When we arrived, it seemed quite full with only about 8, but the advantage with stern buoy moorings is that you can fill the place up nicely. With two boats on a stern buoy and the fenders (almost) touching, you can use all available space nicely.

What we are finding is that the people running the harbours are amazingly friendly and helpful. The young lady harbourmaster here helps new arrivals tie on, takes your mooring fees, informs you that there will be smoked fish for sale at 6pm and assists her 4 year old son in selling you potatoes (he only needs assistance because he does not speak English yet). Coffee is for sale at a little stall and later also cake. And all of this on an island with 34 permanent inhabitants!

Here are two pictures:
