yikes, now that's ICE ! I didn't have that much lol, also keep in mind that I just went around the "HOOK" in the Bay, and up the creek (no open water) to the ramp. I had my PFD on and a "chase" boat behind me (he got out late too), I was never more than a few hundred yards from shore. The REAL danger would be falling into that Ice cold water (something that was in my mind all the way around w/ that icy deck)
