BLYM was completely frozen over today, well i mean is., about 2 inches thick round the edges, we were able to stand on the ice at the slipway with it only just cracking! didnt bother launching anything as no wind/no people wanting to go sailing

HOAC lake was frozen too. Been in charge I didn't attempt to rig a rescue boat, the boats are kept in the water and were frozen in place!

Had fun watching geese and swans walk all over the ice (then fall through it!)

Oh and anyone heard the noise of skimming ice blocks over a frozen lake? Makes the most incredible noise, like birds singing.

Will get pictures up later.....

About 60 boats out on the water for the first round of Alton Water's Frostbite series........jolly cold though ! The car's thermometer was reading minus one when we arrived there and the slipway was icing up whilst we were getting the boats launched. I didn't sail but all credit to the race officer and his team for withstanding the seriously cold windchill Clap

Slighty warmer day today, not enough to shift the ice, so racing was cancelled... :(
