Saw a boat moving at a decent clip through the cracks in the ice in Alton Bay about 3pm on way around the tip o' the bay.
Planning on being on island this weekend! Going to make week drag along.

That was my cousin, Capt. Icebreaker, he took me for an ice-out excursion after he and a friend physically broke their way out using poles to break up the ice ahead and push large chunks away from the engine. The ice was basically slush, very 'shardy,'
To borrow a line from TV it was 'Ice Road Boating.'
It was one of the more amazing boating experiences I've ever had.
Thank you Capt Icebreaker.
