I am back out to Rattlesnake this morning and the run out from Minge had no ice is sight. Motor is awesome! If you are looking for a new four stroke Dave and Kate will take good care of you.
Now I have to get to work and stop staring at the webcam........

Yo Broken Glass...don't leave us in suspense! What kind of motor did Dave put on for you??

Yes, Dave does great work!!

Good luck with your new motor and your new island home!!

I did not see an damage on Rattlesnake but I did see a bit of damage on Governors Island

Wolfeboro Bay is the last hold out.
There is also some ice near Little Barndoor Island to Black Point.

In addition to RG's photo from Dave Emerson, is Wolfeboro Harbor. It has been very stubborn. If you go to Corinthian Yacht Club Web Cam you can see the water moving and the ice standing still. Maybe we can take Wolfeboro off the Mount's ports and declare ice out.

Some brave person needs to go out there and break a hole in that ice in Wolfeboro, then the wind will take care of the rest. In the meantime I will be packing for an island excursion tomorrow.

I'm in Wolfeboro and there is ice all the way out on the East side of the bay where the Mount makes it's passage to the dock landing. Sorry to say no ice out today

me too!! got the boat ready for launch today in the snow storm

I feel honored to be the proud owner of the last of the ice

It has started to finally started to open some today though.

Looks like there are some pretty thick chunks too

[Island Girl]

There is still ice in Chestnut cove. While this does not impact the Mount getting to her ports, it could float elsewhere and become a hazard to boaters. With the wind blowing from the west, that is not likely.

Had dinner at Lago a few weeks ago and they were running an "Ice out" contest. Donate $5.00 to the Meredith food pantry and take a shot at guessing ice out. Winner gets dinner for six! My guess was 4/24 at 1:30 PM

Who's hungry???

Love their chicken parm...I'm in!

Great guess! Good luck!

Great idea by Lago doing a fun thing while helping people in need.

With the wind and water movement this morning its hard to believe any remaining ice would survive. Don't even see any "icebergs" like the last few days

Great to see your dock and breakwater all in one piece! Hope ours looks the same!

Now we only need to watch the Wolfeboro web cam: http://www.wolfeborocam.com/images/camera0.jpg

When the ice is gone, it's ICE OUT (Plus or Minus Emerson Aviation makging their check flight).

[Just Sold]

I agree that Wolfeboro's Ice is holding up the ICE Out but if you look at the Web Cam at Trexlers they still have an ice blockage out in front of their place. Won't change Ice but will limit travel under the LI Bridge.

[Island Girl]

This could present a dilemma for Mr. Emerson. The declaration of Ice-Out may still leave large chunks of ice for some folks including the Long Island Bridge area, Winter Harbor, and the area east of Barndoor Island including Chestnut Cove. Here is Chestnut Cove now. Also interesting is that the water temp was 41 degrees a couple of days ago, but today it is 39. A very different ice-out indeed.

[Island Girl]

A very stubborn patch of ice has Wolfeboro socked in still. Again, we need a brave soul with a strong boat to go an break that stuff up so the pieces will smash into each other and dissipate.

Hi Dan
Dave removed my 250HP OX66 Yamaha 2-stroke (2001) (a real mosquito killer), and installed a 300HP Yamaha Four Stroke. Need I say night and day!!Love the new motor but more thrilled to be back out on the island working on the camp.
Thanks,
Dan

PS The motor is on my 2001 Grady White 248 Voyager "Good Stuff". she is my lake Suburban. It carries lumber, people, and is a great fishing boat to boot!!
