Cocktail canoeing

Canoeing on that magical day when solid lake ice turns to crumbly cocktail ice! I fished the cracks in the ice until about midday, the wind opening new routes and closing old ones as I went. Then I realized something of a seasonal milestone was happening right infront of me.......large patches of ice went from rigid to near fluid (literally), like a spandex skin on the lake surface. When looked at more closely it resembled perfectly interlocking, but individual cocktail ice.....like a puzzle of 2inch ice pieces floating on the lake....I am sure the Inuits have a name for this!!!
