Ice-out is always a time of mixed feelings. Sad to see it go, but anticipating fine spring days. These folks would like nothing more than to see it go period. Looks like an ice jam burst and started a massive flow. This is last week in Beauceville, Quebec. You don’t need to speak French to understand the despair.

Nite sailor Fred Musser and Sarah Sheffield have graciously offered to host our pot luck lunch party and meeting at their house in Union. Sunday, May 5, meeting to start at 11:00 sharp with lunch to follow.
Address is 1611 Clarry Hill Rd., Union. Take 235 north from RT 1, or Clarry Hill Rd south from RT 17. You’ll find it: you’re iceboaters and the one thing we know how to do is find things like hidden launch ramps and good lunches! The food gets better and better each year. Thanks for making it happen! BYOB
