Skimming

[Webbsatwinni]

We were at the lake Sunday and stopped by Alton bay to check out the ice and while there, we witnessed a skimmer first hand. They skimmed the open water near the public beach. I thought the technique would be to speed up to it and stay on the gas and lean back. This one pulled up slowly and them took off and went through a lot slower than I would have thought.

Not that I am trying it, but I was surprised by the technique. It was fun to see a skimmer in their natural habitat.
