PIG, I assume you launched out of Sheps/Goodhue? You mentioned ice....is there just a little ice around or is most of the west side of Bear still iced in?

The west side, Bear Island, water is mostly ice free down the center while the shorelines have weak gray ice that will fast disappear back to water.

Check out the Bear Island cam shot that looks to the south.

Alton Bay is clear from the mouth down to the beginning of 11-D/ Loon Cove area.

As of this morning Glendale is wide open!! Smith cove still somewhat locked in. The East shoreline of the cove is somewhat open and passable, the Fay's side is not, probably be another day or two before boats can get out of Fays...

I left from Y-Landing, and cut through the ice on the southwest side of Pine. There is still significant ice between the Neck and the west side of Bear, but hopefully with some rain and wind it will break up fast!

For those at Fays, Smith Cove was still mostly iced in this morning. The ice has shifted making the Eastern shoreline (opposite Fays) un-passable, it will probably be passable late this afternoon but I don't see Fays passable for another day or two...

Did you notice if Gilford Yacht Club is clear yet? I haven't been north of our place since Sunday evening. Boats are ready for launch.

Alton Bay looked largely unchanged this morning. Still ice from Loon Cove/ 11-D headed south to about 100' north of the bandstand.

It wasn't yesterday morning but I didn't look close this morning. I will check for you and report back.

Codeman;

My wife just drove by and said the GYC still had some ice in the slips...
