It looks like it will be a bonus year for the dock repair guys this year. From our vantage point between Minge and Smith's Coves, we can see Treasure, Cub and Sleepers (up to just beyond "The Castle"). With my spotting scope, I can see numerous docks that are damaged by the ice. If you are on the Rattlesnake side of Sleepers, maybe Island Girl can give you an opinion since she visited her island over the weekend. The ice is very smooth so walking can be tricky. There are many ridges and holes out there so if you do venture out, be VERY careful. The noise coming from the ice is constant and loud so I imagine it is rather unstable. I won't be going out there until I see the workmen driving their trucks out there and so far there have been no activity. The Babes On Sleds are cooling their jets and waiting for playtime.
