Spring update

Laurenson Lake is open this morning and we usually open 7-10 days after that. On yesterday's outing I could not get very far as the strong NE wind blew all ice from North side Dorian Marsh into the boat channel plugging it up. From Green Bouy G4 just South of Bald island looking into Andrew Bay appears to be open but too much ice to get there.I was sure we could have made it to Moore Bay but Bob was in there yesterday with his ice boat and said not yet ! Don't expect much change today so will wait and go for another boat ride tomorrow to see how far we get.
Going back to the picture of ice I picked it up on Friday was 11" thick(1/2" melted by time I took picture. Back to same place on Sunday and ice was only 5" thick but 100 yards West and back to 11"
