Waves and flying ice at Vitskärsudden
No paddling today. The reason, why? Strong winds and rough sea with breaking waves.
The wind blew onshore, carrying the sea spray several metres inland. Normally spray is liquid, but today it consisted mostly of peaces of crushed ice. Ice from floes that the waves had been crushing into smithereens. So yes – ice can fly, at least a few metres.
A result of these conditions was the ice wall you can see in the front of some of the photos. It was built today and was up to one metre high.
So as I said, no paddling today and no winter bath either.
