It was 14* when we left the dock at 7am (The dock lines were very tough because frozen) and didn't reach above 25* till late afternoon. We had a rollicking sail down the Columbia in 35+knots on the tail. We hit 12.3 knots GPS speed under 100% jib alone! (with some current assist.) The biggest problem was that the water froze solid to about 1/4" thick on the side decks, and the jib sheets were frozen from the few times we dipped the rails in the water. It was a bear to bend them around the winch and the self tailer was worthless. I had two hands on the wheel nearly the entire time, but did manage to grab this shot of one of the buoys. That white stuff is solid ice! The transom photo was taken about 3pm when it finally started to warm up and melt some of the ice gathered along the way. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwhcX19YaPJ8QWtlbGE2NzhYRzQ/view?usp=sharin g Cheers, Kevin Osprey 30-2 PDX On Thu Jan 08 2015 at 12:01:00 PM schiller via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: On 1/8/2015 12:31 PM, Michael Brown via CnC-List wrote: Official temp was -28C ( -18.4F ) last night. That is not the "wind chill". The house outside thermometer registered -30C ( -22F ) around midnight. I am about 100 km north of Toronto. We may see a few days around -30F in the winter, rarely may see something closer to -40. Better so far compared to the "Polar Vortex" of last year.
