It was January 3rd at Lake Attitash...near Amsebury MA. There was plenty of ice..except for a melting hole over on the other side of the lake. It was sunny and warm..50 degrees..not much wind. One of our oldtimers "Went In."

He was in the water maybe half an hour. They got him out and made him WALK ..1/2 mile..back to his van..a VW Bus..and cranked up the heat. He survived without any ill effects. The experience did take it's toll though. He never went iceboating again..moved to Florida. NB
