Paul;
Morning sir, holy smoke that's cold!!
Just got back in from a lake 5 minutes from the house - Vaseux Lake - where I'd done okay for perch a week ago.
It's only -5° but really quite windy.
Drilled the hole and the ice felt punky this morning and was about 4" thinner than last week.
Tried to put up the tent and immediately one anchor point got ripped off the tent.
The anchors really, REALLY were cracking the ice too.
Since Vaseux is part of the Okanagan River system, they vary how much water comes in and out this time of year and there was some open water on top of the ice south of me.....
I give up!!
Back home, microwaved what was left of the morning coffee, built a fire in the garage woodstove and will see what it takes to repair the tent in a little bit.
All of these are First World problems to be sure.
Best to you all today my friend.
Dwayne
