USCGC Tackle

The Tackle and USCGC Bridle (Out of the frame) were breaking ice on the Penobscot River. It SEEMS early for this but they said the ice was 18 inches thick.

(Restricted Area? Authorized? SURE I'm authorized!)

    My dad was in the Coast Guard on an ice cutter. He ended up for a while in Bahama!

    merlinprincesse: I consider 'authorized' to mean 'not asked to leave yet.'

    zbjernak: It sounds like it, but it deceiving because those 18 inches can have layers of water between them and it's on a todal river so it shifts and risesand falls around 8 feet per day. I'd rather be 3 inches of lake ice than 30 inches of river ice.

    jmd: Ya know, if one HAS to be stuck on an ice breaker, the Bahamas wouldn't be so bad.
