It may be spring but it still looks crisp and cool...and that bright blue sky...lovely! I only sail small around 4 meters (12') to 5 meters (18') on fresh water mostly. Our boat is motor boat for fishing and skiing mostly and then just freshwater. We live near the Snake River in Washington State, US.

You caught me
It's still minus at night and just 6-8 degrees Celsius in the day. But the sun is up all the way to eight o'clock now and it's getting warmer every week! A smaller boat for fishing sounds nice to me. Our sailing boat is still pretty small, but it's a little bit of work just going out a couple of hours. And you need time to get somewhere.
Always wanted to sail around the world, or have a couple of months every year on a sailing boat in the south Pacific, but that hasn't happened yet. Won't be with this boat though

My wife and I have it penciled in for summer 2022 in case there are construction delays and to wait for warmer weather. My wife does NOT like being cold!
I am going to guess it is spring because the water in not covered in ice.Finally spring here in Sweden!
Lools like a beautiful day! Love that sky.
Remember living in northern Alaska for a year in the US Coast Guard.
Nome, Alaska, June 9, 1985.
The bay ice was finally breaking up enough to get the first summer supply barge in. Everyone was very excited.

That is so cool! And yes, to get some summer here you need to wait until July or August, and to have some luck
Looking forward to a Reef2Reef meet at the new Aquarium 2022!

Here's when we moved a large Acropora hyacinthus colony yesterday, from an old propagation tank to a new temporary tank. You'll get a fast tour through the old Aquarium and into the new temporary Aquarium

Strange feeling needing to take it easy in the door posts due to the size of the coral..

I suspect we will start our planning in early 2021 for that trip. Hopefully you won't find all my touristy questions regarding what we should do and see in Northern Europe too annoying!That is so cool! And yes, to get some summer here you need to wait until July or August, and to have some luck

Time to say goodbye to these old sumps
Now one coral system(five tanks, about 5-6000 litres) are empty. Plus two out of three propagation tanks are emptied of corals. Only about 35000L reef tanks left.. ;Wideyed Feels like a Sisiphean job some days.. But we are ahead of schedule with the move to the temporary Aquarium and taking down the exhibition. So a couple of more weeks moving rocks, corals, setting up lights, dipping, catching fish etc etc and then we'll have nice summer. Hopefully

No worries! I have the list of public aquariums in Northern Europe(my colleague is admin for our mailing group!)I suspect we will start our planning in early 2021 for that trip. Hopefully you won't find all my touristy questions regarding what we should do and see in Northern Europe too annoying!
Yes - But do not let any network technican come over the bridge in the future

Random pictures from today.
Tank 1 - frags and more
Tank 2 - Euphyllia, Stylopora, Galaxea etc
Tank 7 - six meter mixed reef - softies & SPS
Tank 1 again - frags and stuff
Tank 3 - larger colonies Acropora
With all these reef LEDs, I need to learn how to take proper pictures. It was easier with metal halides..
So four tanks are starting to get filled up with corals. Four more just waiting for lights, and two more(our old propagation tanks) needs to be emptied rebuilt and installed. Perhaps 1/4 of our "capacity" is used now(for corals).

This would be the only aquarium on our list for this trip. The Vasa museum would be the other place of interest. Unless our tastes change we will spend more of our time on day hikes and walking around smaller cities. My wife had never left the US/Canada area so she likes to see what life is like outside of the bigger cities and tourist traps. She even likes the idea of local food until she has to eat it. ;Wideyed
