This morning Wolfeboro Bay was pretty covered with ice, albeit, broken and irregular, but nevertheless, ice. Of course, this also raises a question, since the Mount has 2 gigantic engines, and is in and of itself rather heavy, it seems to me that even with some ice still in place, the Mount could trash its way through and make it to the dock in Weirs and in Wolfeboro.

The Mount likely could operate on April 10th however I wouldn't think that the revenue would be there to justify the extremely early opening trip.

I think a lot of seats would be vacant due to the chilly weather encountered at this time of year.
