This picture was taken from the bay looking toward the back of Freedom Is.  The ice here consists of 1" of ice with 4" of slush with 1" of ice below.  Not something I feel safe walking on at this time.

 The channel in front of Craganmor is now frozen.

I tried to scoot into Parry Sound last Friday but had to return after making it to the end of Seven Mile Narrows.  Seven Mile Bay was frozen over.  There was thin ice with four to six inches of slush covered with about two inches of snow.  It is easy for the scoot to get stuck in.  This picture shows the scoot stuck in the middle of Kineras Bay in front of my place.  Pictures taken Jan.8/17
