The only ice that was floating around was the ice coming out of the chute. Not much, but some.   Midmorning we noticed something that looked like a huge ice flow way off to the east. I wondered if it was ice from the easdt end, because the wind was out of the east. About 2:30 it appeared this "ice flow was working it way towards the chute. We were about 3 or 4 miles west of the chute. We decided to pick up and run back to port. When we got closer it appeared to be quite a bit east. We thought maybe it was ice flow from the east, with fog just above it.  Not really sure.  Water temp was 36.5 and never budged all day.

My back up plan is to drop someone off on the beach or at the end of the pier and head for Hughes, Pultneyville, or Bear Creek. Never had to execute that plan, although once years ago the chute clogged up and then it reopened a couple hours later.

 

But it is an uneasy feeling nonetheless...especisally when you are the only one out there.
