We thought there might be big ice out in the lake. That just has to be destroyed so the rest of the boats can get out. SOOOoo, we fired up the ANDY MILNE and headed out to see and were prepared to bust bergs if we saw any. We tucked in behind thePort Sheldon pier and had a toddy or two because most of the ice was gone. Bring on the Summer!

My guess is in the mid to upper 30's. The tug is a little spartan as far as electronics goes.

I grew up in Sheboygan, WI. We used to drive down to the lakefront on New Years day and watch the local "polar bear's club" jump in the lake along with all the floating chunks of ice. Crazy! :shock:

We see highs of 85 to 90 and dew points in the 60's and 70's for nice sticky days.
