But of course it might be better in summer. I actually much prefer the North Sea - it has proper tides - the Baltic is more or less an oversized pond:-) Cheers Douglas On 27.11.2010 21:22, Nathan Wajsman wrote: > Not a place I would want to go on holiday, even though it is in a > beautiful part of the country.
