Water rescue

[BigMac]

Anyone on the south side hear of a water rescue today. Saw some tweets stating search and rescue helicopter from Trenton Ontario was dispatched to north pond or somewhere around there. Apparently one boater was pulled from the water and another was missing.

So sad. The ice can't be good in most places right now. Guess the reports up here about a boat were wrong. Condolences to the families

Three of us were fishing I-Bay about 7 or 8 years ago and one of us went through three times on the way back to shore. The third time we thought it was all over for our friend. We took a different route back to shore than we went out on without really thinking about it. Walked our way right into some bad ice. It was like walking through a mine field. At one point I felt one of my feet start to go through and did a quick high step just in time. Just by luck we had brought two ice augers and were able to use both of them to make a two man, two auger chain on the second and third times. I haven't gone ice fishing since.
