Taking Out "Yee Old Luninum Icebreacker

 Now this is dangerous...... and so Bryan is going it alone.  He has his Mustang Flotation Jacket on and is proceeding very slowly.  Ice in the narrows is about 1" thick here.  He would go ahead of few feet and let the aluminum boat settle on the ice and the weight would crack the ice, then he would proceed alittle further.  He got to where the creek flows out which is still open.  Then he only had 300 feet to go through more ice to make it to the bigger lake.  Vikki was not going to tempt fate and she put the camera back in the cabin and walked along the shore .... watching

From the creek on was slow going.  Ice is a little thicker and Bryan would get the boat up on the ice, then have to walk to front of boat and rock the boat..  the rocking would make the large pieces of ice move off to the side.  The whole trip through the Narrow took him about 45 minutes.  As he reached the open lake he gave Vikki a raised closed fist.  She had one for him too.
That night Bryan didn't come back that way.  He left the boat on the open lake and walked the 1/4 km back to the cabin.
