Official 2013 Ice-Out Thread

I don't think it is very smart to put any boat in until the ice is gone. You'd be surprised how it can blow around and how destructive it can be. I actually say what looked to be a thin piece of ice blow into my neighbor's dock and smash it. There is a lot of power in that ice when the wind blows it. I guess if you just go in the open parts and take the boat out when you are done for the day, it would be ok. But I would never go where there are still ice sheets. Please be careful!!
