Ice Out Or Not!!!

April 24 We saw and heard the Loon calling. Put my tin boat in today, only had to push ice about 100yds. from our place to the narrows. About 100yds short of making it to Dick & Linda's Island (the next set of bouys heading to town). Dorian Island and everybody else along French Narrows are ice bound.I could make it by boat to Guy & Gays and Murray and Karens docks. At present we have 25plus kms winds, white caps out front.The forecast is not the greatest with 15-20cm of snow and we have already put away our shovels.
