I never thought so but, I saw the tracks one that started on the open ice, went in between the docks in Suissevale and ended up in the parking lot. A quick calculation using a map that's about 300ft of open water to skim over!! I knew you could skim water but, I never thought that much water!!! Thanks, they are braver than I
I crossed about 100 feet of open water, at night, by accident,on Rangeley lake a few years ago. I skipped right across before I even knew what happened.

Yup.....needed a baby wipe when I got back to camp.
