Now the winter bathing season is over
Time to start swimming a little longer distances.
Watch out for the jet skis and use a Safer Swimmer to be seen!
We get to look forward to next winter and hope for a new icebreaker here.

The ice hole's bane has now approached Brinkvaken
The hole remains, but the frame, lid, ladder and other things have been removed.
For the stubborn one who still insists on swimming there, change on the beach and walk carefully away towards the hole. Do not be surprised if you make your own hole on the way there. It's just as good. Just sit back and enjoy. And you, bring ice picks to facilitate the ascent. 😂
Otherwise, the icebreaker gutter now has open water and has grown wide and begins to approach the shore, as soon as it is swimmable there as well. I hope to see you soon on a swim there or in Gäddviksströmmen.
Cathy, Bernie and I thank you for this icy season.

Brinkvaken is still going strong!
A month ago, it was high tide that affected the wake, so we had to remove the frame. See picture below from March 3.
There were then a number of cold days and new ice froze, but not thick enough to reach down to the gamis. There was a layer of water between the nyis and the gamis. In any case, we could put the frame back.
The ice is about 10-15 cm thick, so it will probably last a while longer. The water between the ice max 20 cm at the actual wake and tapers out towards the barrier.
Right at the entrance at the height of the orange plow sticks, it is a bit sloppy in a couple of holes that are a maximum of 20 cm deep.
The steps can now be knitted under the nyisen
