The ice and wind softened by mid afternoon and several of the ice boats loaded up for home. End of season maybe for some but not even end of day for Ramblin Roger who called at 6:45 to say he was going for his sundown sail in freshening air on hardening ice. We have hopes for a few more days as the ice is still hard up against the shore, we haven’t even gone to planks and ladders yet.
