[Paddlewise] I'm new!

I am a new member also. My name is Anna Leena Lind (aka alli) and I live
in Helsinki, Finland (Northern Europe) by the Baltic Sea. I have one sea
kayak.

My main interests in seakayaking is touring. Usually I paddle between
three and six weeks in a summer, so I am spending all my holidays
paddling. The paddling season is quite short here, only five six months,
as the sea freezes in the winter. But we have a really beautiful sea
archipelago, and also thousands of lakes to paddle.  I belong to two or
three clubs here in Finland. 
I am also interested in instruction and guiding.

Of course, I would like to paddle around the world! Well, the next best
to paddling around the world is to hear about what people on the other
side of the globe are doing with their kayaks!

PS. our paddling season here in Helsinki started about 10 days ago, when
the ice broke and melted away.
