Sailing through the islands of the Baltic to Finland

We had an early start for a 7AM sailing.  As we got up the Baltic Princess sailed into Stockholm and was quickly turned around for our departure

for the first hour we watched the skyline of Stockholm disappear and the islands get smaller.  this seems to be quite a busy shipping lane with lots of ferries and cargo ships servicing the islands.  By 1030 we were passing through much more sparsely occupied areas and it was all very serene.  

We had pre-booked a seafood brunch on board and went down to the Happy Lobster for a wonderful meal.  It was much posher than we had expected with unlimited prosecco, juices, coffee, a smorgasbord of cold meats, cheeses and fish before a main course of grilled salmon with vegetables then a help yourself dessert table.  We had been shown to a lovely window seat and it was like a slow movie passing the windows as the ship sailed smoothly through the final Swedish Islands.
