After a cold winter night...

...most of the ocean is frozen.

Still gorgeous though - let's go kayaking!


Björn joins me for some ice breaking fun.

Boats left in the water get a "beard"

Cutting the paddle through the icy surface.
The sound of ice cutting and the kayak rumbling through the ice

absolutely quiet
going for a spin, leaving a trail - accompanied by a gaggle of geese

There's something to be said about winter oceans...

Our trails criss-crossing the water remained all evening.
