Exclamation Candiates for Darwin Award

If I wasn't watching this with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. But, as I write this, there are two guys in a pontoon boat trying to get from Ames Farm out to Diamond Island. There's a small break in the ice and they are "navigating" in this river. Peering thru the telescope shows that one guy is hanging off the back of the boat trying to push the ice away from the outboard by using a paddle or pole of some sort. One shift of the ice and they'll be stuck out there for a few days.

Now it appears that they're stopped in a big bed of ice. Not sure if they're stuck or not.

Hey I want to get out to the island just as much as anyone else, but this is a bit over the edge.

Update: 3:27 pm, they broke free and are heading into shore again.
