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!  Duke, the Captain Here's me on the fan tail A little ice to be broken on Pigeon Lake About the only ice left coated the pier We backed up under this berg

Sure, it might be getting grey out, but who the H cares. We were BOATING!   Last year's inaugural Ice Breaker! Much better sky but much colder!

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!
