Dad's pulled boats in weather like that. Climb on the ice, drop through, repeat. You get a 45 degree day you have to go out. Usually south shore though.Years back I saw 2 guys in a small fishing boat, the ice wasn't thick like this, one guy on the bow was breaking the ice and the other was gunning the outboard! and they made it out to the bay from the location in my pix.
