Rare for the ice to be
that thick at the
docks, the boat reported.
The tide was also
very low that morning.
That's maybe noticeable
in this photo because
maybe that boat's
touching bottom. Or maybe
the ice was doing
that. But the low water
was another reason
to keep the Norma-K III
in port. Even if the vessel
could break through the
ice, the tide was
another hazard.
