Lucky, lucky, lucky: I am so lucky I was able to ice skate my 16' v-hull aluminum boat out through the 200-yards of smashed ice trail left after a big construction barge barged through. To my big surprise there was a barge working at the Dolly Island house today which meant it probably come over from Shep Brown's so what was solid ice for 200-yards yesterday was today a doable way to ice skate it out ...... lucky, lucky, lucky!

Going about 5-mph the boat was able to move through a long meandering crush of both small ice and big 5-10' ice plates, make it through, which seemed uncertain at the time, but I just went for it, and it kept on going ... a yikes type of a move!
