Friday morning had high SW winds, the ice was moving up and down with the wave action as they passed under me 4 miles out on the lake. Soon the ice bewteen the island and me was nothing but big cresting waves. Still way too much wind, the lake is nothing but steam again out there. Too bad, hopefully the winds will subside long enough to get it locked up with the cold temps. It will take a minimum of 6 days well below freezing with no wind to get enough ice on the lake to keep it from moving and self destructing, that's a tall order though.
