Anyone Need Some ICE??

[Old Sailor]

These are shots of ship iced up last Tuesday after coming across Lake Ontario in a Westerly Gale with 10' seas........unfortunatly, I had a fall while up on the bow. Landed on my back, left elbow and smacked my head, resulting in a mild concussion, bruised elbow, back and neck. We couldn't get to where the ice cleats or sand where kept before this happened, hence I came home a week early to recouperate. Doing better now.

Glad you are on the mend, Dave....that is some serious ice! :D

[bobarian]

Take it easy Dave. Hope you are feeling better. Love the pics, makes me so glad I'm out here in California!

Ah Lake Ontario, I hate that lake, where I went to college was right on the shore. Its the reason we get plowed with so much snow.

[alley00p]

Wow, Dave! I'm glad to hear that you are on the mend!! :tu

I was talking to a USGC Chief the other night at the B&M. I mentioned that you were out on the ship, and he said he hoped you and the guys were doing well, out on the water. He's a maintenance Chief for their choppers, and said the conditions had been pretty rough the last time he was out on a flight... :(

Take care and relax!

Dave, I hope you're feeling better. You'll be in my prayers for a quick recovery.


Alex, while I try not to get entertainment from my friend's pain...I literally laughed out loud

[dccraft]

I hope you saved a little of that ice for your scotch:r

I believe that should be your doctor's orders. Get better!

Ah Lake Ontario, I hate that lake, where I went to college was right on the shore. Its the reason we get plowed with so much snow.

That's the first Great Lake I ever witnessed in person from the shore. I was blown away, it's like looking out over an ocean. My wife's uncle had a place out towards Pultneyville and the house was on the lake there. Sometimes when we would be up there over Christmas and the wind was howling... good lord that was cold. I know I wouldn't want to be out on it in a small craft.

[Blueface]

That is some ice.
Get well Dave.
Come on down to Florida.
Seems we are having a heat wave tonight at 33 compared this stuff you are in.

[Scottw]

Be careful out there.

[St. Lou Stu]

Ya ever think about pointing that thing out the St. Lawrence and headed down the Eastern Seaboard to warmer waters?

Glad you're at home resting. :tu

[CBI_2]

Dang! That's crazy stuff. Rest well brother.

[DPD6030]

Get well soon Dave!

[TripleF]

Be sure to ice the wounds.....JK

That's unbelievable. Thanks for posting the pics :tu

Hope you recover quickly!

Tried that but didn't like where we where headed!!:r:r

[BlackDog]

I hope you are feeling better in short order.

But, I think if you had drilled a really deep hole through that ice on deck, you could have gone ice fishing. ;)
