  • I scale a handy navigation mark to photograph ships passing Ledskär Day Beacon off the tip of Lemland, Åland. It was the first -and last time- I used my 22 kg canoe to photograph in the open seas of the Baltic. After being caught unawares and suddenly surfing in the rip tides of a passing ship, I was lucky to make it back to shore intact and with dry equipment! From that point on, in 2002, I made the decision to buy a motorized boat.

  • Rescue at Segelskär Island in the Gulf of Finland: A coastguard (Rajavartiolaitos) cutter tows my boat back to the mainland near Tammisaari. The rescue took place in windy seas after a sudden fuel line breakage caused my 40 horsepower aluminum boat to drift helplessly onto the windward side of Segelskär skerry. There, it was tossed and pinned by wind and surging waves against the unforgiving granite rocks. The demise of my little craft was almost assured without the Coast Guard's prompt response to my emergency call. Segelskär is left astern on the horizon.
