Made it to Safeway docks

Yesterday was day 43 of Isolation, in a normal spring  after I take vehicles off the ice I would go to Barepoint marina by quad or snowmobile. With the Reservation in a lockdown we could not access our vehicle so we made due with supplies on hand. We left home and never saw any ice till Cat Island in this area was a piece about size football field. The next piece was a huge chunk that broke free in Bigstone and blocked the are from Finches point to Mazies Island. We were going to turn around and go through Manitou when we saw 2 boats pushing  there way through Ice along Mazies island, Thanks for opening that route Rob and Tracy. As we approach Allen’s Island Matheson Bay looked like ice shore to shore so we turned and headed West Between Leach Island and Town Island, the last piece of ice we saw was just North of Galt Island. We couldn’t have made Barepoint even if we wanted to because the SE wind during the night moved the ice in Bigstone right up to shore blocking the 40’ path that was there yesterday. I’m heading to Moore Bay this morning so will check out ice at Eagles pass. Bob was flying yesterday says still ice between us and TeePee Island, can see ice around Red buoy EJ10 south of us and you can only get 1 mile past us towards Yellow girl. Surface temperature is 2.5 C , water has come up About 4-5” with run off but still a little lower than normal.
On Sunday I was texting with Tim Skead manager at Barepoint Marina and he thought they would be closed for another 2 weeks. He said if things change he will call me , if and when he does I’ll post opening.
