jonnyswamp Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 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 GPSguru, daio web, Geoff and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
