Ice, ice and more ice


This is Blue Haven Marina basin with Bella on the bottom right - you can just see her yellow stern trim. And look at the ice.

Yesterday, a boat and butty (boat term for non-powered towed boat) were pulled out of the water onto low loader lorries. The ice had to be broken to get them in position to be lifted by a crane. So, broken it was, and the sections slid onto the solid ice nearby. Over night, those slices froze to what they had slid onto and the rest of the marina froze. This was the view at 8am this morning! Layers of ice and snow just catching the morning sun. To us, beautiful.
