irishfield Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) If you know anyone in the Moore Point.. Quarry Island.. Green Island.. Port McNicol area that is missing a nice L dock, it's out locked in the ice at the entrance to the long marked channel through the Green Island chain to get to Port Severn. In the main bay.. between Snake Island and the channel, but after the yellow/black caution marker! Also note it will be close for Pike opener... No signs of ice letting go even after the week of +9C temps on the main lake or through the Port Severn system. Edited March 23, 2015 by irishfield
Gnote Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 I do look forward to your ice out updates, nice pics as always!
irishfield Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Posted March 23, 2015 My second flight of the entire winter... the first was just Friday past!
Raf Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) ice is propably at or near its thickest right about now or a week or two ago.. it may hang on for a while but i've learned that it can go just as quick in the right (wrong?) conditions out there. Edited March 23, 2015 by Raf
irishfield Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Posted March 23, 2015 For sure Raf... -C every night for the next 14 days in the forecast.
kickingfrog Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 That's somewhat identifiable from google earth no? If it was in place when the current photos where taken.
kickingfrog Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Found a couple of possibilities in just a few minutes. Hope they get it back for their sake and for the other boaters.
irishfield Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Posted March 23, 2015 I'm sure many have eyes on it already... about 10 grand of dock there..
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Can ya fly it up to me? Could use more dock space.
4x4bassin Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Thanks for the updates Irish , look forward to these pics. every spring ! Bit of $$$ sitting there in that dock , someone will be looking for it .
Joey Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Cool shot. Hope they find it before going to the cottage for a "where's my dock" surprise soon
bigugli Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Happens every year throughout cottage country. You leave your dock out and you risk it drifting out with the ice or getting crushed.
myot Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 That dock is a total shame I've been right up to it in person and several yahoo's have decided to run over it with their studded sleds ripping it to shreds (it will need a whole new top) Dan
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Happens every year throughout cottage country. You leave your dock out and you risk it drifting out with the ice or getting crushed. Yup, that's why mine is up on shore. It's a pain taking it out and putting it in every year but I have too much $$$$ invested to have it destroyed by the ice.

People SUCK!!!

It's a pain taking it out and putting it in every year but I have too much $$$$ invested to have it destroyed by the ice. I used to be first into the water every year after ice out to get our docks in place and still wading in November when we pulled the docks out. The one uncle had a "permanent" dock set on a rock crib. Lord knows how many times we rebuilt that dock after the ice crushed it into kindling.
Steelheadphycho Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 That doesn't surprise me at all. People SUCK!!! X2! I hope the yahoos get there just deserts........ Why do people have to be jerks?

The one uncle had a "permanent" dock set on a rock crib. Lord knows how many times we rebuilt that dock after the ice crushed it into kindling. I only built it last summer so I don't want it ground into powder before I get some use out of it. It looks like the guy across from me left his in. He built it last summer also. Our ice gets to be 5' thick, once the shoreline goes that big chunk of ice can do a ton of damage. I have my dock pulled up on the rocks and chained to forged eye bolts anchored into the granite. Want to make sure the dock doesn't get carried off. Even this little dock cost nearly $5K to build.
Big Cliff Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Yup, made the mistake of leaving mine in this fall, first time in 14 years ice formed early then broke up and came crashing back in. I'll be rebuilding my dock as soon as the weather warms up. Won't make that mistake again.
irishfield Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Going out for another in about 2 hours Phil... anyone want a picture of anything specific inside the "block" of Wasaga Beach, Christian Island, the Global Tower on 69 and Honey Harbor? Edited March 24, 2015 by irishfield
