Our route "by" the harbor yesterday
At some point, we realized we were actually on the sea. It’s kind of hard to tell when the ice is covered in snow! We figured, there were a bunch of others out there walking and skiing and snowmobiling, so surely it’s safe.

The docks were empty, of course, except for three boats. I’m thinking this cannot be good for a boat…
There’s a lookout tower at the harbor that looks out over the sea and archipelago, but it’s only open in July.
