Last days round here

Sailed the Lower Croix last Saturday for 30 miles with a top speed of 40. Ice was OK, but today was really nice. All the slush was gone!The drain holes are small and a non issue.
Had to wear my Wellies to get to my boat and 8 good inches of ice. Top speed today of 45 and 48 miles traveled. Not many days left though. What a season!
Might get another day or so to sail before the temps rot the ice beyond safe sailing.
