Headed back out in the lake! Loaded the boat and knocked off the rest of the ice. Ran out of time at 14 hours and was made to knock off. The boat still needs to be rinsed they are going to use wheels men and the other 2 AB's till they time out. Busy day!

Dammmm! That's a big ol' boat. The biggest boat I've ever seen is the battleship at Mobile. This sure looks bigger.
