"The Baltic has an attraction of its own, and nowhere is this greater than in the north, where it divides into the great Gulf of Bothnia penetrating between Finland and Sweden almost to the Arctic Ocean, and the Gulf of Finland running east as far as Russia. This book describes a cruise of the Author, his wife, and (during the latter part of the voyage) a friend, on a small yacht exploring this part of the Baltic and navigating in the channels amongst the Aland Islands." - publisher's blurb.
