Day:126, Words:126

A fantastic May Saturday in Øksfjord, perfect for plunging into the Norwegian sea. Those associated with the Doctor boat undertook an exercise today whereby they donned a floatation dry suit and jumped into the freezing waters.

The experience is to prepare them for any emergency situation where it is necessary to immediately leave the boat while on duty. The participants reported that they remained fully dry and that the temperature inside the suits was warm and cosy. In the event of such a situation, survivors could last several hours in the middle of the icy ocean.

The first trampoline has been reassembled after being packed away for the long winter. Bouncing up and down is a popular summer activity for kids of all ages in Øksfjord.
