Ice Out!!!



Everybody was desperate to get water under their hulls! Unfortunately the day a couple of canoers got trapped and eventually capsised and were immersed for quite a while until being rescued and restored to their warmer selves. All's well that ends well!

But for us kayakers it was all fun and games :-) The sea kayakers are some colleagues from ISK who came out to do a TV piece on how to boat safely at this time of the year.

Now, I had never really thought about it, until my colleague warned me that drifting ice is actually quite dangerous: Give it a wide birth, make sure you're dressed for immersion in ice cold water and make sure, that your wearing your pfd and otherwise, HAVE FUN! :-)
