Frozen Mälaren

The sea has frozen. The ice has not yet reached the bank of the Mälaren as the temperature tends to be higher there. Belisama is resting in the marina yard, 200 meters from here.

That's it. Finally winter has arrived, and temperatures have been around -15°C for a week. Time to get the nordic skis ready for the next couple of weeks, and ensure that Belisama and La Malouine have the minimum comfort for surviving this polar anticyclone. Way to cold now to consider doing any serious work on board!
Time to go south to get some light and burn the excess of melatonin. On the way back though, the rising setting sun at around 16:00 these days provides a nice view of the southern part of the Stockholm archipelago. You will recognize some of the islands mentioned in posting from the summer!
