Ice Watch 2013 (The Sequel)

Just a quick update:

Steve made it into Central Lake this morning.  The plane had to taxi through some slush to make it to the dock. On a good note, the temperatures were very warm; 72 degrees and melting the ice quickly.  In just an afternoon about 200 yards of ice disappeared.  According to dad, the water is the highest he has ever witnessed.  Unfortunately, the main dock at Central was swept away from the heavy ice flows and the high water.  I see some heavy labor in the near future.

Since there is enough open water to get a plane into Central, I have been given the green light to head northbound from Eagle Lake.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to update Facebook or the Blog for several days; the heavy snow over the winter knocked our satellite dishes off of our roof.  It will take a couple of days to get a technician to our location for re-installation. We will be able to check our emails and voice mail when we visit Sandy Lake.

Good luck on the water everyone,
Nathan
