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)
