White Sea general

White Sea (Beloye More)
Strong currents and lumpy seas extend along coast towards Vardo, building as the throat is approached (we recorded nearly 4 kts at times). Sea can have more holes than a lump of Jarlsberg.
Inside attractive waters, low banks and trees. Slightly reminiscent of Poole Harbour - sandy cliffs.
Largely Shallow with some banks. Clear shipping lanes and separation zones.

See Arkhangelsk posting for notes on customs clearance, reporting rules etc
