    sorry, totally off-topic

    Well, those Fins are a little different than you. They actually have clubs where they practice "winter swimming". That's swimming in a hole in the ice - without a survival suit!
    And the best thing is... there are even waiting lists to join these clubs as they are so popular. :eek:
    It's said to give some kind of adrenaline rush or so.
    But not my cup of thea either, I must admit... A cold shower during sauna is as far as I want to follow their madness.

    Interesting article about the bulbous bow in the Nordhavn publication, CIRCUMNAVIGATOR. If you download the PDF attached, it's page 26 of 212. For those of you with access to internet while on board, and any interest in Nordhavn or live-aboard lifestyle, consider reading both issues. URL for issue #2 is below.

    I picked up both issues at FLIBS - good read on the flight home.

    (remember - bulbous bow article is on page 26 of the magazine above)
