The maiden trip of s/s Alina was a success. No technical or other problems occurred. s/s Alina has been sailing two lakes in Finland, Oulujärvi and Saimaa.
The harbour of s/s Alina is in Kajaani, on lake Oulujärvi. Oulujärvi is a broad, shallow lake with a beautiful scenery similar to the ones in the wilderness of Lapland. It is a less frequented lake because of the northern location a fact that makes it so special.
