THE HENLEY WHALERS - Other Sailing Posibilities - Version 14/3/09

Sail the Polish Great Lakes for a Week

Inland, non-tidal sailing in "The Land of a Thousand Lakes"

Cruise amid forests and National Parks.

Very tranquil and substantially unspoilt.

Try to imagine Norfolk Broads but 100 times bigger, hillier, only a 10th of the people, and un-commercial - wow!

“What about the COST?”, I hear you ask.

Prepare yourself for a surprise.

If we charter (rent) for example, a fully equipped six-berth yacht,
in Mazuria it might cost around £70 per person – (Chartering in Greece would be around £150 pppw)

Air fare is about £150. (Flight to Greece is around £200, to Italy is around £150)

What about other expenses?

Living costs are pretty low in Poland.

Transfer (train/coach/minibus) to and from the “Land of a Thousand Lakes” is surprisingly low.

Moorings are mainly free or very reasonable.

The scenery and tranquillity are free!

Pictures of Mazuria

There is more than enough in Mazuria for several weeks of cruising.

Mazuria

The many lakes are inter-linked by rivers and canals to form an extensive, branching water route system, set in widely varied countryside
