Laurensons Lake

Ice is now gone on Laurensons Lake(This is 7 days earlier than the earliest recorded by our friend), Usually when this happens we can boat to Bald Island,Not so this year as the only open water around here is at our dock and across to East Allie Island,otherwise Black Ice all around.
The rule of thumb is we can boat to Bare Point within 7 days.But with no current this Spring,and cooler nights(made ice again last night and we were only-1c but calm).
Should make Bare Point by 14th. No pictures as not enough water for floats yet.

Today we launched boat --if you draw a straight line from Bald Island to the red/green bouys @ Square Island we made it to the 15' depth mark between those 2 Islands i--the ice we pushed through was about 5" thick/black and mushy.
However the ice North of that looks white-which means thicker!!
