What happens when two well-known artists Saikki and Honksu, Pirkko Saisio and Pirjo Honkasalo, buy a mahogany boat and spend their summers not only travelling in it but mostly repairing it?
The owner-seller of the boat, Mr. Ilola, was weeping when the new happy owners left in their new (read old) boat. Later the happy owners realised that Mr. Ilola was not sad but, true to his name, weeping from joy.
This anecdote tells a lot what Lokikirja (The Logbook) is all about. It is a story about friendship, positive attitude and hunger for adventures. It is a tasty book to enjoy especially during these dark, stormy, snowy winter nights sitting comfortably at home, perhaps sipping a glass of Scotch whisky.
The publisher of this handwritten, illustrated diary is Siltala Kustannus. Pay 28 euros, and it is yours.
