walking on ice!

I walked out on the ice saturday morning with Corey to the ice shanty he was planning to spend the day in. Such a weird feeling walking about a mile "offshore" over the area that I normally am sailing, swimming, kayaking or playing in.... Right now there is so much snow covering the ice that you dont even realize it's the same area. You just feel like you're walking across a field. Then you really think about it, and realize that you're standing over a foot of snow, 2 feet of ice, and then 20-30 feet of water!!! Thankful for my safety!!
