While tied up here on Boxing Day we keep a weather eye on the forecasts. There seem to be two schools of thought. One says, more of the same, temperature around freezing, not much warmer, not much colder. The other warns of five or six degrees below at night and just below freezing during the day. If this were to happen we might well get frozen in before reaching Leeuwarden. Can we afford to take a gamble on getting through. If we lose we’ll be going to work and school by train from Leeuwarden Station when school begins in January. If it freezes harder the first ‘Elfstedentocht’ [Frisian Ice skating marathon] in years will come past our frozen barge. Come to think of it that might be worth waiting for.
