Delic... Decorative Easter Flowers - Part 2

The long narrow delicious leaves are missing in this floral setup...

But these new fernlike greens are fun too...

One can entertain himself by ripping off the leaves...

... and leave the stem only... 

Promise of the Spring

The crew visited in the vessel's winter shed last weekend - there is already water on the ice even though the Spring lets to wait herself longer than usual. 

Exter's Hibernation Nest

The crew made the Spring's first trip to the boat yard last weekend. Slowly but surely the ice is melting and the Summer arriving. 

I am so waiting for hanging around in the cockpit, enjoying the fresh air and all the birds...

Delic... Decorative Easter Flowers - Part 1

Where are the narrow delicious leaves?!?

Looks like that my florist replaced them with these fernlike things...

 Maybe I can use them still for something fun...

My Recommendations for Crew Workout

One of my targets for this off-season was to exercise more and make sure that the crew gets its physical training to perform better on upcoming season. We cats know how to exercise: when you do it do it fast with full intensity - for humans they call this High Intensity Interval Training, HIIT. Also stretching is natural for us - I stretch regularly several times to day.

I found excellent crew training routines available on this site: http://www.fitnessblender.com/. May I recommend couple of sets:

 http://www.fitnessblender.com/v/exercise-detail/Cool-Down-Workout-Cool-Down-Stretching-Routine/f7/

I warmly recommend this site to all the seacats!

The crew's exercise equipment has to be checked. The mat seems to be OK.

Easter Sunday Excursion

 On the second Easter Sunday I had to use the ultimate means to get some time to myself. In three days row the crew had been cooking, cleaning, and fussing around in the house during my day sleeping time. Also my whole temp crew visited which was very nice. So on the fourth day I was really exhausted and I had to send them to an excursion to Liminganlahti http://www.liminganlahti.fi/en/home.html.

However these pics raise some concerns - this white snow field is the sea. How an earth can we sail in it in only in two months?

Delic... er... Decorative Easter Grass

Again the Sunset...

To please the first mate, who is notoriously into the sunsets, I have to post another set
of Iso-Syöte sunset pics.

But, I demand, that the next Sunset post shall be a nautical one!
