    No, I'm still in the Greifswald Bodden. If I'm ever near Lüneburg with the boat, I would definitely get in touch with you.

    Please do! :)

    Greifswalder Boden? I sailed with my (teenager) sons in 2000.

    ...

    Let's not exaggerate, it was quite warm, only -15 degrees Celsius in Krakow last night. Was it cold ? In some parts of Poland, it reached -25. But what about -25? Arne is probably just laughing at us.

    Jan, I saw that it's even colder in Kraków then here. Just one or two more arctic nights, and then hopefully we'll all have slightly milder temperatures, at least for a few days. :)

    Moin Frank,

    thanks for sharing! Looks like pretty solid ice, any issues with ice pressing? You don't use any device to melt the ice around your Bold, like pumping up warmer water from below up to the surface, do you?

    Luckily, Ilvy's marina in the Kiel fjord is rather ice-free.

    Cheers

    Someone here measured 25 cm today. I'm still not doing anything about it and I'm not worried about it at the moment. I've been exiting over the sides out of the boat for a week now. Hopefully, I won't get used to it and continue doing that out of habit once the ice is gone.

    Moin JRA,

    I haven't posted anything in a while. I'm currently redoing my blog and want to finish that before posting anything there. We're pretty much stuck here at the moment. Stay warm if it's winter where you are too. :)

    I suggest that you on one of the panels fit a HK parrel and see how it looks.
    If it removes the crease in that panel, then you should consider fitting these to the other panels as well.

    Just a thought,

    Arne, thank you for your thoughts, they are welcome!

    Btw. you probably already spotted it yourself, I followed your tutorial to the most parts, thank you for that. Really straightforward.

    Nagging about Hong Kong parrels


    This looks promising.

    However, I notice these well-known diagonal creases.

    Oops, I haven't posted any sail photos or videos. I've only sailed a couple of times. I'm too soft to motivate myself to move the boat when temperature is below 10°C. :)
    The rig is still a bit provisional here and there, but everything works good so far. A bird flew into my VHF antenna. WHY?
    But I also did other useful things and finished many small tasks mainly inside the cabin, e.g. I've made soft padeyes out of epoxy and done a lot of sewing. But I haven't taken any photos of that yet.

    Here is a short video of my first sail in November
