Thanks Wouter, there where a bunch of nice videos with skiff sailing.

I really needed those videos since the winter did a jump start here before I had a chance to take the boat to winter storage. It is covered in 0.2 meters of snow now with -10° C. But this snow will dissapear next week, and hopefully I can take another trip with the A-cat before I put it in winter storage.

And here's some hard core winter sailing a did two years ago....

Before you start arguments about how crazy this is....
* Lake with an diameter of 2 Nm, just a small outlet to the archipelago.
* Very experienced crew and skipper
* We are used to cold weather and are aware of the risks with low temperatures.
* We went to shore before we got tired.
