I was into town by boat today for the first time.  This is a photo of Five Mile Bay looking west.  I think all the ice as far as I can see is gone.  There are still chunks of ice floating around and some back bays still have some ice.  Holiday Cove still has some ice but should be clear tomorrow.  This will be the last post until freeze up starts next fall.  Taken May2/18

 The channel across Five Mile Bay is open.  There are still some sheets of ice floating around that could block the channel.  The remaining ice should disappear in a day or two.  Notice the ice floating on the left side.  Taken May 1/18

 The far end of Five Mile Bay is still iced in.  I expect this to disappear in a day or two.  Taken May.1/18
