irishfield Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 .. in case any wonder how thick it is. It holds my Kubota. About a foot of perfect blue ice, with about 17" of white on top. Puddle jump tomorrow if you've got nothing better to do...
irishfield Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Posted February 16, 2014 Could probably troll while riding a sled... but suspect it's iced back over by now. Will need to be busted open and scooped in the morning. At least this year we know for sure that no matter how big the crowd they won't be pushing the hole edge below the water line!
GBW Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 now there is a very short spot to troll by foot... TKS Wayne and if I could I would be there. Damn work getting in the way...
irishfield Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Posted February 16, 2014 That's just one of MANY blocks Geoff... the guys got too tired to push any more down and under the ice, so a few got hauled out. So the hole is actually being floated by about 50" of ice around it's perimeter.

Puddle jump tomorrow if you've got nothing better to do... take it home, carve it out, add the good stuff and sit by a fire beside the pool.
irishfield Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) It took a lot of fighting with the liability "Nancies" to get the puddle jump back in Penetang for Winterama. I don't think it would have happened last year (and here forward) if not for my son being a Town Councillor who has been helping cut the "puddle" since he was 12 years old. LOL Ketch.. no thanks, that was cut 1000 feet from the sewer plant outlet! Edited February 16, 2014 by irishfield

I can only imagine some insurance agent having a wet dream about going on vacation in the south for a month with the cheque for "insuring" that event if you did LOL Our Diswinterfest celebrations in town had to have someone hand out helmets to the people sledding down a 200ft hill with hardly any grade last year. Keep in mind it is where about a thousand kids do the same thing every other weekend without any insurance mandated protection.
davey buoy Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 I remember testing the water there more than once,30 odd years ago lol.To be young and a bit crazy helped..Not sure now,but it used to be a great event.Than trailer the sled back,drier out and get ready for our night ride.Those were the days!!
