FT. SNOW SHOWERS. HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY.
The ice was so thick on the boat yesterday that we had a 5 degree list to starboard. It was 4 feet thick in a few places. We spent another six hours breaking it up with sledges. Finally broke out the fire axe for parts that we could only chisel at with the sledge. We had to leave our little bay because of the high winds, and are now turning back and forth near Unga spit. We can only go about 3 miles before we need to turn around again. We already have an inch of ice from last night.
