Merry Christmas to all and all the Best in the New Year.
Please be very careful with this Ice ! It was Open less than 3 weeks ago with Cold temps just in the last week . The Trick is The back bays didn't all melt , some had ice stacked up by the wind etc,,, so what I am saying is ... if You check the thickness in a Bay , it probably is going to be Thinner in the main body. If You break through , there is a chance You may go right in !...No safety Layer underneath ! I was a U-Boat Captain once .....it's NO FUN ! Be Careful ppls ! Don't take that chance !
