One, Two Three, just like that: the days of sailing roll on by. Another fine day today in the south end with the wind stronger than forecast and a bit more out of the west. The westerly opened up the nice bay near Camp Kieve and Red Roof Island. All the ice through there is good. Thickness is now up to six inches. 
Above, looking south into Deep Cove. In addition to the Whizz and Bob MacEwen’s Mini Skeeter here, we had Jos VanDyke with DN, Linc Davis with Cheapskate and Rob Dimitriof in his beloved Lockley. The club certainly ticked the diversity box today!
There is a long ice puddle extending from the west side, opposite the last island before the narrows. The ice is still connected in the bottom of the pool but will probably burst soon. A pine branch marks the west end of it.
The ice trail along the shore is much harder now and is actually a nice walk coming and going. The wind works its way down through the trees to give an occasional shove, especially just as you are navigating through the dead branches of the fallen tree.
Looks like the snow tomorrow is minimal so sailing could be had but for the lack of wind.
Here are some highlights from today:
