The Ice We Know or Will Know For the Weekend 2-21-26

We continue to look for a sailing window within a narrowing band of sailable ice across the Northeast. Our larger lakes remain snow covered, and the current and future fronts moving through the region are not helping the coastal ice we have sailed or are monitoring.

A wintery mix is falling across much of the region with more to come. As a result, all previously sailed areas will need to be re-scouted, along with any new opportunities that may be developing. The Cape will be checked again, and new scouting is planned for Watuppa Pond in Fall River. Scouting is the key word, these areas are being evaluated and are not considered safe in any way till checked In addition coastal Midcoast Maine locations are also being monitored as well as information from the Champlain Valley and other points.

Where will we sail in the next couple of days? Ice will be checked Saturday, and we will have a clearer answer about Sunday after the checking is completed.

Conditions are changing, but opportunities remain. Stay tuned for updates.

Think Ice,
