I put my 14" Lowe with 15HP merc in the water at my camp Sunday just after a fissure opened up in the ice allowing me to get out across the bay (Winter Harbor). Ater fishing for several hours, I headed back. Well, as I approached my camp, I saw that about 200' of ice had been blown in along the shore while I was out fishing. The waves were carrying right thru the ice to shore which indicated to me that I had a chance to get in. I slowly pushed my way thru the ice as it was pushed out of the way and also broke into pencil like pieces. I made it back with no damage to boat or prop. Can't say that I do that every day.
