I have completed maintenance on the Arctic King in preparation for winter. I replaced the support wires for the top-load wires of the antenna with Dyneema rope. This rope has a breaking strength of around 5 tonnes but I ran into some problems because of its elongation under load.
The tension on the top load wires is around 200kg (440lbs) and it was quite a formidable job to accomplish.
The photos were taken last night and it is quite tricky to photograph the full moon in the dark.
Finnbjörn of Litlaeyri conquered the 1.5 Pood (24kg) kettlebell today.
My brother, Gisli did the one Pood (16kg) kettlebell easily on his first attempt.

Today was a really HOT day – 17°C, so we decided we needed to cool off after the training session.
5 sets of 40 swings with 12 and 16 kg kettlebells.
