Hmmmm…..interesting
There appears to be a new sign down in Woodville…..(it is posted right near the boat launch, appropriately so)
Ummm….how is a life vest gonna prevent hypothermia? Aw, forget it. I must be missing something. Funny thing is, this is a view of the lake from a road above showing the south end of the lake…..
Since the boat launch is on the right side of that photo, I think you can see the only craft that might launch this time of the year would have to have sled runners on it as the lake is frozen over!
Well, enough of that! I had spoken to a fellow that works at the marina in Woodville and he told me seeing the eagles walking on the ice in the winter is quite spectacular! So, I spent about an hour just hanging out down there, but saw no eagles. In fact, the area looked rather lifeless. The only sound to accompany me as I lingered was that of dead grass rattling when the brisk wind blew!
Of course I had to show that grass as I loved the color of it set against the stark white snow!

I’d like to know how much money went into putting a life jacket law into effect for the WINTER?? *sigh* only in NY! LOL
Not to be morbid, but once you die of hypothermia, it is easier / cheaper to fish you out of the water if you are floating on the surface in your life jacket. Otherwise, they would have to bring out the divers and all that…very pricey! LOL!!!!!
I like Carly’s take on this! I hadn’t seen those signs yet…that is rather weird! Woodville is rather quiet during the winter months. It is supposed to be frigid for another week or so…so you’ll have lots of opportunity to check out the eagles I think!!
Do the eagles have to wear life jackets as well?
Bill, I wouldn’t be surprised…and knowing our town, they would probably try to fine them for not wearing them!
Carly, that thought passed my mind, too. For some reason, you cannot enlarge my photos by clicking on them…gotta have Mark figure that out, but the sign states on 21′and smaller vessels.
