Fish huts up here have to be off the ice by the end of March.The BMD (Bondi Maintenance Dept. ) (Brian Mike and Dave) took care of that a few days ago, seizing a lovely mild day for the occasion.
The huts get tucked away in a safe spot, out of the way, where they can be spruced up for the next Ice Fishing season.There's still almost a metre of ice on the lakes, though. We're still waiting for those days when you can skate anywhere -- which, given the current melt, might be very soon!

This old photo, from 1979 *(Dec. 27, in fact) shows the kind of ice conditions we haven't seen yet this year. This is one of our 'Bondi' families -- Henry and Corrie Schogt and their children Phil, Barbara and Elida, coming back from the Island on old-fashioned Dutch long-skates.
We may yet see some ice like this before it all melts!
Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteThat's a whole lot of ice to melt down
