1st boat ride


This afternoon we launched boat to see how far we could get!!
Pushed through black/mushy/candled ice about 5" thick. The 2 Islands in picture are in a straight line between Bald Island and the Red/Green Bouys @ Square Island with a depth of 15' That is the NE tip of Queer at left corner of picture-had to turn around at the 2 Islands as ice was white and thicker-could not push through it-rode up on top.
We have -7c in forecast for a couple nights this week as well as cooler days but still think Bare Point by 14th.
