Ice-Out 2009

Bear Island South · 04-05-2009, 09:04 PM

Thanks for all the great pics today, I pulled the boat out of storage today and gave a tune up and got her running, we are planning on heading up Friday to open up.

Some more words and pics to complement RGs and others. Sitting on the dock today you could see and hear the wind beat up the ice in Alton Bay. Unforetunately it (the ice) was running from Sandy Pt and towards our dock. We did OK but some neighbors lost a loose post or two. But first some pics from the Rt11 scenic overlook taken around 5:30 PM.

Looking out towards Barndoor ...
Looking down the bay ...
And Little Mark I ....

So looking across to Sandy Pt this was the scene. The looking down the bay towards the gazebo, you could see the ice closing up open water. Then Mee spotted this guy who crawled up on the ice to sun himself.

As others noted there was abundant open water off Ames Farm. Interestingly the Weirs was still pretty much iced in. Meredith Bay was the same way, mostly ice except along the shore and at the tip. Here's the open water with the ice just poking in on the right. Then looking up the bay with Church Landing on the right.

If you can turn your eyes away from what's left of the ice sheet floating in Meredith Bay, it almost looks like a June afternoon. What beautiful blue sky and great sunshine! They are unwrapping The Breeze a week from this Friday and we'll be waxing Sat,Sun and Mon. I really miss it. I don't care if it's 50 degrees as long as the sun's out and the buffer still works. You won't be able to get the smile off of my face with a hammer and chisel!

Hey, Meet N Mac, I think I can see our house in the second picture looking down Alton Bay. Is that Echo Point in the background? Keep those pictures coming!
