Much of the maintenance work in the harbour relies on volunteers. When the harbormaster called for volunteers, 40 men and women showed up. The team I joined built a new bridge connecting two guest piers. With so many volunteers, the work was completed in no time and almost all tasks were finished. We were also treated to delicious cakes and coffee along the way.

Nedriness Qoutient: 2/10 It was a rather unusual winter, with little snow but strong winds and bitterly cold temperatures. Although the aurora borealis is often seen in our region, this winter was extraordinary in that respect, with the phenomenon occurring night after night for an extended period. The high pressure that brought the clear skies was accompanied by freezing cold temperatures. We still managed to get a decent amount of miles on our skies. Mr Gordon was always present. By the end of the season, the skis were completely worn out. It's clearly time for the sailing season to begin!
