For those of you wishing to and join us on the lake, the GPS coordinates are latitude 46Â° 13.77 longitude at 93Â° 34.80 ;D

I have a prediction that will recover at least three to five anchors

Monday is the day!

;D For those of you who thought about going .................. some suggested reading material until the next time opportunity knocks

You ask what goes into setting up for an ice dive ???

Well the first thing is to find a good supervisor (note supervisor on left).
Then the hard work of sawing and chopping ice starts.

Next you chop out the ice. Tongue

Then you make the next cut with the chainsaw.... and cut and cut and cut.

About this time you really need to take a break.

This first photo could be titled "instant diver just add water."

Once you make the smallest hole through the ice the hole fills up REAL quick.

The next problem is that chainsaws don't work well when submerged. Thus the hole is finished by hand.
