Today we checked two other sites in Estonia.
Parnu has good conditions, but the launching is a little bit challenging. Big frozen area with no obstacles. The ice thicness is 35+ cm. The surface is even.
Later on we arrived to Haapsalu, where we found excellent ice. All the bay is frozen, no major cracks. The ice thickness is 35+ cm, black ice. We had excellent training during the day. The surface remained hard and fast even late afternoon.

Today I received information from Jörg that the conditions in Poland getting better, thus if everything will be OK, then of course Poland will have priority, since they are the organizing country.
Stay tuned and wait for final decision tomorrow late afternoon.
