The Return Trip - James Kenwabkisi in the Ruby Ann breaks out from the point through 16" ice to re-open the harbor for the Emerald Isle's return trip with Bud Martin on the ice ready to chainsaw when needed. Full story and photographs in the April Beacon!
In Route to Whiskey Point - You've never seen the Ruby Ann here before! On a flatbed trailer in front of the Harbor Light waiting to launch into a chainsaw cut berth in the ice.
Nudging the ice away - the Emerald Isle makes her way to the dock with the Biscayne Bay beside
The Biscayne Bay clearing the harbor with her side bubblers pushing ice out from the hull.
Passing Whiskey Point required one or two back-downs, but was in general a smooth operation after the long day reaching Charlevoix. Many pictures from Charlevoix, Beaver Island, and the air in the April Beacon.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Photographs from the cold, but great, day in the April Beacon.
