Island Girl's April Ice Out Tour 2005 - Part 2,page 3
Just before dinner on Friday, April 15 we heard a loud cracking sound. It was like fireworks. We knew what was happening. An after dinner walk revealed a neighbors dock lifted up and the posts torn apart by the ice.
About the same time the dock was breaking up a channel opened up and got wider and wider right before our eyes. These and other ice floes moved rapidly along. We were awed by the sight.
There were many ice floes drifting by... and at a rapid rate.
We stayed in this spot for a while to watch he first island sunset of the season. The ice is going out now! What will tomorrow's warm temperatures bring?
.... Remember this picture, for tomorrow's shot in the same place tells a different story
