Freezing Temperatures Thickens Lake Erie Ice for Sea Scouts DN Boat.

It’s been a while since this blog was updated, so here goes, a quick synopsis.

The scouts spent the fall renovating an old Detroit News (DN) iceboat and had it ready to go before it really became cold.

Then the really cold weather came but with it the snow. The lakes and bays froze but were covered in snow mounds which made it impossible to iceboat.  For more information:
