Närpes - Molpe 18.1.2009

Distance: 41,6 km
Duration: 5 hours
Company: Five skaters from Vaasa longdistance skatingclub

Comments: We planned the trip in south-northern direction to benefit from the strong southerly wind. In the outer parts of the archipelago we ran into open sea (not literally though) and we expereinced wave movements in the ice shelf. A new and exciting experience to most of us. We passed the open water by walking a few kilometers over islands and stumbling along the uneven ice along the shoreline. The trip was very rewarding and we managed to complete the whole route to every bodies excitement.
