SItuation update 1: Boat Maintenance
After the lake Ounasjärvi has opened up from the ice cover, it was time to get the wooden boat ready for rowing. One of the first tasks in spring is thus to apply a new layer of tar.
The lake is still frozen, except for the shores. I measured the ice thickness on May 10: 30–35 cm of solid ice with some air bubbles. The snow on land has almost melted, with patches remaining here and there. The first flood peak on the Ounasjoki River is forecast for this coming weekend. It’s time to repair and tar the boats. Then we’ll just wait a little longer. See you on the lake soon!
