Product information
If not now, then when? Sönke Roever and Helmut Adwiraah have known each other since their school days and have been sailing together ever since. After a few years of studying and working, they decide to fulfill a dream and sail around the Baltic Sea for an entire summer at the age of 30, before the real "seriousness of life" begins. their trip begins in Hamburg and leads along the Baltic coast via Rügen, Hiddensee and Bornholm to Poland. Their planned detour to St. Petersburg is thwarted by an engine failure and a broken rig. After some difficulties, they reach the northernmost town in the Baltic Sea, Haparanda, via the Åland Islands and along the west coast of Finland. From there, they make an overland trip to the North Cape, then head south again along the Swedish coast via Stockholm. After passing through the Göta Canal, they point the bow of their HIPPOPOTAMUS north again to visit Oslo and from there the old Hanseatic city of Bergen. After an exhausting cruise in the stormy Kattegat, they return home after five months, two young people who don't want to wait until retirement age to fulfill their dream - in this day and age, that takes a lot of courage. This cheerful and optimistic travelogue, spiced up with anecdotes about the country and its people and peppered with sailing tips, inspires readers to follow suit.
