this is how fast weather can change...

yeaterday we went for a small trip with our dogs. we brougt 15 of the. first we drove over to the other side of the fjord which is 10km. then we foloowed the coast line for some km untill we reached an old cabin. during this time it was nice and sunny and now wind. we stopped to have some hot tea and som biquits. then headded back towards daneborg. in the middle of the fjord the wind picked up and some snow started blowing in our heads. we could see bad weather and dark clouds coming in from the north and from the east. we knew we had to hurry back home before the bad weather hit us. just 2-3 km from daneborg one of the dogs was so tired that we had to put him on the sledge. just an hour after we left the cabbin we were back at daneborg. half an hour later the weather was getting really bad and then it just kept getting worse the rest of the evening. but it was so good to come home, instead of having to stay out on the ice for a night without a tent...

A new problem occured. it was our watermaker, which produces fresh water from salt water. it had broken down, so during 2-3 hours in winds around 30-40 knots, snow and darkness we had to walk around outside to try and fix it. finally we managed, but not for long! this night it broke down again. we have startede it again and hope it will stay that way...

stay warm whereever you are
