Default Docks are icing up

I had to go to Laconia to take my mother-in-law home yesterday, so I went to the Centre Harbor docks late morning. The ramp area has a skin over it so it is starting to freeze up there also. I think they have turned off the aquatherms in order to let the ramp freeze up for the ice derby next weekend so vehicles can have access to the ice there.

Oh well, there goes my shore access to practice ice diving skills. I went to Wolfeboro docks and that ramp is iced up also. I ended up going back to the ocean for a short dive. I was testing out a full face mask and an old style horsecollar bc --- big mistake. The bc has a way of pushing the mask up off your chin if you get in certain positions.

Say prayers that there will be a thick enough cover for the ice derby and our 2nd annual ice dive at Meredith.
