Beautiful morning -8c and calm,made a trip to Bare Point for supplies. The ice in the picture was 1/4" thick,sounded like glass breaking when we drove through it. The picture was taken 08:30 am. looking North towards French Narrows.The ice was spotty like this all the way to Queer Island,then no ice till Hades-Through the Hades the ice was 3/8"thick,then clear all the way to Bare Point where the docks there had 1/4". We hit a high of +1c and on our return @ 14:00 never saw any ice till we tried to go into Moore Bay to the old Lodge for a visit,Here the ice was getting thicker the further East we traveled,The ice was 3" thick and the boat rode up on top and just sat there. Not wanting to get stuck we back tracked out and drove around through Andrew Bay and came in from the back side,no sign of ice this way.I still think we can boat into next week but just in case we brought in enough supplies till we can snowmobile out.Have not seen or heard a boat around here in over a week,also had a huge wolf walk through the yard yesterday
