Canuck Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 In year's past, an Icebreaker has come into Midland early in the New Year. Does anyone have an update on this year's passage(s)? Be vigilant if you're on the Bay. (Was it last year that they destroyed the town dock as they were leaving? Thrusters turned the docks into splinters).

Canuck Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Thanks, Yukon. (and Faceman) Heads up in that area. It's not the open water (although that will cause shrinkage) - it's the wall of ice it leaves once frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLNYTRO Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Just saw the video... That is absolutely RETARDED! I love how the other people were just standing on the ice as well fishing and such.. I don't think I"d want to be out there watching a huge boat bust through the ice that I was standing on...

02Sled Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Just saw the video... That is absolutely RETARDED! I love how the other people were just standing on the ice as well fishing and such.. I don't think I"d want to be out there watching a huge boat bust through the ice that I was standing on... RETARDED is an understatement. I watched as one sledder who obviously has well paid life insurance and a death wish decided to play chicken with an ice breaker. He crosses in front of the path of the ship, slows down and then takes off again. Imagine if the sled bogs down or stalls or the belt decides to give up the ghost right then and there. That has never happened to anyone has it? I don't know what the ship weighs in at but there is no way it is even going to try and stop for that little sled that just conked out in front of it. Then you have the marginally more intelligent who decide to run along side the ship. These must be the same people who want to test God's aim by standing in the middle of a thunderstorm with a golf club in the air saying here I am come and get me.
