The sound of ice

Or, more to the point, the sound of BREAKING ice.

It was a cold night last night (though not inside the boat). We woke up this morning to find the first ice of the season. Fortunately it was not very thick (yet) and we were able to continue our journey. In this case, returning to Calcutt Marina where we are leaving Brandy Pad over Christmas.
