As happens sometimes, we are awash in ice. So many options. We locals are going to Damariscotta, per previous post.

Michael Young reports decent ice on Eagle Lake, MDI.

Eddie Zelonish skated the north end of Thompson after doing the south end yesterday. 3-5” everywhere with a pressure ridge right where it was last year. Pure Black Ice.

Randy Rice skated some more Black Ice off Leavitts Beach, Winnipesaukee yesterday. It’s bound to be growing like weeds just now.

Lastly, we all know about the humble ax as an ice checking tool, but it is also very handy for salvage at sea operations.

Do the same rules for soft water salvage apply to hard water? In this case they did.
