I took the day off today to open the camp up. Boy did I call it right. Fantastic day and great weekend coming up. I am in Loon Cove in Alton Bay and ice was well off the dock so I was able to put in water supply. Hope ice doesn't move in to destroy my intake. Oh well, still worth it. I didn't see any Loon but the Merganzers were all over the place. Saw one female with 6 males following. That a girl!!
Drove from Alton Bay to Laconia so I can give a little Ice Out info. Probably not worth much since it will be all gone by Sunday with the weather that is coming.
Ice out in Alton Bay up to Sandy Point. Ice is very dark and has many channels of water running through it. Can still see lots of ice throughout the broads but a good wind would destroy it. No ice in Smith Cove but still have some in front of Marine Patrol. Ice still in Saunders and in Weirs Bay but breaking up fast. No ice in Paugus at all from Weirs to Paugus Bay Sporting Goods.
As I said before I can't believe it will last the weekend but I would bet the official Ice Out won't be until Monday.
BTW: opened the camp and no leaks - my luck just keeps coming.
