Baywatch!


Here we are April 23, 2008 and the ice is still in the bay. At least 2 days late. It's usually out by April 21.


There is some open water which is a welcome site.


Push ice as it's called in these parts.


Push ice is a common sight at this time of the year near Westend beach. As the ice breaks up in the bay it moves in and out depending on the wind direction. If the wind is from the north, northeast it pushes the ice to the south shore of the bay where it piles up.
