yup, it just caught sunday. saturday it was wide open with 4 foot white caps. but yesterday the winds calmed down enough for it to catch. cold last night too so it made some more. today isn't bad wind wise, but i don't think the wind is gonna hurt it now anyway. it should be thick enough now that the wind won't break it up. it's supposed to warm up later in the week so who knows.. but as long as it gets cold at night it should continue to make ice. i'd give it another week or two depending on temps.
