I like to keep my priorities strait, I refer to it as Ice Drinking.
I also agree that one does not go out on the Ice alone. I have fallen thru and it is cold.... This is coming from someone who has done marine construction and shellfished in the winter to put food on the table. As soon as there is safe ice Ill be out there and anyone that wants to head to the mid cape area is welcome to come along. nothing like hot cup of joe and fresh perch or trout fried on a coleman stove.
BTW the sled is nice, but the canlal cruiser with old tires and pop rivets thru them if much faster, and after a bit of blackberry brandy provides lots of entertainment.
