This
winter, 2007, Gig Harbor froze over with about half an inch of ice on the
northern half of the bay. A rarity that your intrepid Fleet 1
captain and crew had to investigate. I found that even ice this thin was deceptively
difficult to break through, and it made quite a racket as you did.
I was glad to get back to my slip. Thanks to Gerry Dryer for the
great photo.
