Great day on ice

Spent 5 hrs out sailing on White Fish Lake.Cool weather but nice 12 MPH breeze.Ice was measured as 13" a little bumpy ( i would rate it a 6) with patches of 1-2" of snow covering.No cracks or hazards over the whole lake.No snow forcasted for the week so should be good again this weekend.
