Sailing clockwise or anti-clockwise around north-west Russia and Scandinavia? Which direction works best?

Sailing clockwise or anti-clockwise around north-west Russia and Scandinavia?  Which direction works best?  

Friday 4th of March, 19:00, CA House

Two sailors, John Bryden and Charlotte WIlkinson will talk about their trips through north-west Russia, over the North Cape and round Scandinavia.  Charlotte sailed clockwise in 2015 and John anti-clockwise in 2014.  Recent changes in the administration of the Russian inland waterways from the White Sea to Saint Petersburg have made this route across north west Russia much more accessible for foreign boats.  John and Charlotte will present the pros and cons of their chosen direction and and share experiences of their voyages.
