Official 2015 Ice-Out Thread

Went out to BI today, left from Sheps, there was a nice open swath of water out to the Post Office in the morning, by afternoon that open area had shifted several hundred yards south replaced with packed in ice sheets. Had to do a little "ice breaking" to get back to open water when I left. What ice is out there is either candle ice or quickly loosing it's integrity. I broke through with a wooden paddle where I needed to with little effort. I won't last long I have no doubt it'll be gone this week.
