Shingles

The clear cove we launched from last time is iced up. This one was iced up last time and not now.. so here we are, still at Shelburne Farm, but by the inn instead of the Coach Barn.



We found a bunch of that thin ice I was rolling in last time.. did that again. But there was also an area where it was all broken up by the wind and waves then pushed together so it stacked like shingles to make a layer an inch or 2 thick. If these froze together it would be pretty solid.







There are still bigger sheets floating around to run up on and take a stretch. Once I'd landed I could see that this one was indeed a product of that shingle stacking process. Solid, but all the outlines still visible. This was at least a foot thick.
