We took the shuttle bus in to town and explored with the map as our guide. A large modern Lutheran Church was built into a hole excavated from an outcropping of rock atop a hill.
A beautiful piano sonata was being performed; too bad not the organ. Oops, no cameras; I didnt see the sign.
There we saw this beautiful schooner with an old fashioned anchor on each bow, each weighing almost 900 pounds.
Shopping became the rage with Lene scoring a fur hat, suitable for Nanook of the North; except we will be south next winter so the chinchilla pelts will have to wait. We also got a bar of Salmiakki, a local delicacy: think chocolate covered licorice. The sweetness of the milk chocolate mixes with the salty/sourness of the liquid center. Dont laugh. Salted caramel is a big hit now so maybe the Finns really have something here. My personal taste test result: Meh.
Three other behemoth cruisers were in port today.
We were docked next to a boat storage yard with several boats not launched yet for this season. Hmmm, like at the Harlem YC. You can see two large marinas behind seawalls across the way
