What's the status of this guy??

Exited Buffalo River early yesterday morning, breaking through ice, got here and hasn't moved since.  Thoughts??  I can try and grab the name it it helps.

Unless the ice breaker comes to save them, they'll be walking the ice back to shore this week.

They decided to hold off yesterday and begin the icebreaking process at dawn this morning.

Hope they have enough TP.

Called it a day this afternoon(Friday).    Need additional resources to extract this vessel.    Some of the ice they are attempting to break up is 5 ft.   Possibly getting the assistance of the Canadian Coast Guard with a larger icebreaker.

On the move very slowly, 2:30 pm Saturday 1/25/2025.
