Open Water - Breakup is Here!

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:01]Well, at 5:00 p.m.

[00:00:05]the jam down river is still holding.

[00:00:09]And the ice has not moved, though the water down where the little boat is is beginning to come up some. It's getting a little bit deeper.

[00:00:18]And the longer that jam is there, the higher this water will get.

[00:00:27]It has pushed her boat over a little bit more.

[00:00:55]Okay.

[00:00:56]Uh I think this boat's going to be okay.

[00:01:00]Um if ice pushes into it, it will push it over this way.

[00:01:20]And it's Friday morning.

[00:01:23]And while we slept, the ice went out.

[00:01:30]Normally, we would have heard this because it would have been very loud when all of this ice started moving.

[00:01:37]But uh we slept right through it.

[00:01:43]And Michelle's boat is floating.

[00:01:49]Kind of got pushed on up.

[00:01:52]I'll have to I up with a way to get down to the little boat down there.

[00:02:01]It's kind of pushed up onto a stump right here.

[00:02:06]Leaning a little bit.

[00:02:09]And hopefully the water will stay high enough that I can pull it down to my little second bank down there next to Michelle's boat.

[00:02:21]Making it very easy to get to it and work on it.
