Of course she is on the water now! This what she looked like when I bought her last August. She is on water the year round, meaning I can go sailing anytime I want

But Patrick, aren't you icebound 8 months of the year?

Do you have to call the navy for an icebreaker everytime you want to pull out of your slip?

No

Though a handful of miles south of the Arctic Circle, we have the Gulf stream that flows along the coast - and combined with a tidal difference of 2.5 metres, there is never ice on the fjords here (except one or two "inland" from here)
