Day 60 (Part 1) – This is bloody cold, but not unbearably bloody cold like in March – 30 April

Day 60. 30 of April. We paddled 55 km to get a proper roof over our heads. Shelter from tomorrow’s gale and torrential rain.

Again when we paddled across to Hanko, we saw ice on north facing cliffs. Never ending. Then again, we have timed the trip to get to St. Petersburg about when the ice breaks on Lake Ladoga, so what can we expect?

As we put on the cage, Stein commented: This is bloody cold, but not unbearably bloody cold like in March. Good summary.

Now it’s half past ten, and a detailed report must wait till tomorrow. Food has priority!
