This was a club basin on Saturday, we have 180 slips buried out there. The membership is pretty anxious about what we are going to find when all of this thaws. The basin was open water until around Christmas, then we had a bunch of wicked storms blow in from the northwest along with falling temps. The wind whipped up waves in the basin and coated the finger piers with ice. They eventually got heavy enough to sink, now we have over a foot of ice in the basin covered with about 2 feet of snow. The finger piers are buried under all that. We are concerned because the fingers are pinned to the main piers and the pins have sheared off in the past. Could be we will have to track them down. You can just make out part of the shanty town out on Presque Isle Bay, there must have been hundreds of ice fishermen Sunday. Shortly after this a snow storm moved in and visibility dropped to a couple hundred feet, I was glad I wasn't out there trying to find my way back in.
