On the shore of Baltic Sea you take into account two things.
First: The closer to the sea you are, the colder you are.
Second: Parts of the body lit by the sun heat up, and those parts which are in shadow freeze. In the end, you get warm and cool from different sides in the same moment. That’s how you walk through the town, muffled in a coat. Hot. And then you sit down at the sea and after several hours you regret that you didn’t take a duck-down jacket with you. This feature creates an affinity between the Baltic Sea and White Sea.
