Notions of winter..and a fox dashing across the ice..


M/s Vindöga breaking ice in the Stockholm archipelago. 
This is the relible ship that has brought us to the island of Sandhamn in the Stockholm archipelgo hundreds of times over the years. Not the most comfortble of boats - but a reliable partner and sturdier than most. She was built 1978 and operates in the public transport system. 650 hp, single propeller, 27,5x7,2x3,25m and can take some 180 passengers. By the way, I haven´t seen so much ice in the archipelago since early childhood´s ice breaker trips to Sandhamn with my parents during winter holidays! I am still fascinated by this sound  of heavy ice cracking..(Recorded in March 5th 2010 and published by Carljesper on Yutube)
