Scott and Stacey took a trip Down East today looking for ice. What they found wasn’t quite ready, but it did freeze after all the snow so it was fresh, untouched and black.

Scott estimates it at about an inch this morning. Cold temps for the next few nights will easily grow the plate. Tuesday promises a medium breeze out of the north, right down the lake. Access is a couple of miles down a dirt road, mildly rutted. The lake is Mofang, a ways beyond Ellsworth off Rt. 9.

Anyone interested in a sailing expedition on Tuesday?
