Went down to the boat the day before to have see how thick the ice was, at least 25mm around my boat and out towards the main drag

The forecast was 2-3 degrees overnight, so thought we would be able to break what ice would be left by my 2 crew on the front using brushes

Got down at 6.30 Sat morning and it was quite obvious that it stayed well below freezing all night and the ice had thickened

No chance of breaking the ice with brushes, or ploughing through without damaging the hull, so back home we came

Shite weather for the foreseeable as well
