Richard In the East we had an unusually snowy winter and major amounts of ice beneath it. In Halifax for the first time in 20 years the Northwest Arm froze completely for half its length and there were ice skaters enjoying the activity. By late April there was still ice blocking the Arm completely. On April 25 we were sitting in our club and saw two boats from Armdale Yacht Club sailing out to the Harbour. This was the first weekend that the ice had cleared allowing anyone out of Armdale by water
Apparently when they returned later in the day the ice had moved back and blocked their path. Some careful maneuvering and a bit of ice breaking was involved. Normally this body of water does not freeze over. Also the huge amounts of snow and cold winter and Spring made for a very late start to our boating season. We did not even launch Persistence until April 30 and that was only by force of will and digging paths thru snow banks to commission the boat Mike Persistence Halifax From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Richard N.

Bush Subject: Re: Stus-List Boat time and weather Our weather pattern here in the middle states has not bee conducive to boating; it rains or has a high percentage chance of rain almost every day; plus, the Ohio River has been up over its normal banks for over two weeks... very unusual for mid summer. I have not been able to get into my dock because it has been under water.... Sooo; I was wondering if anyone has any good boating stories or getting much sailing time in?
