Then comes the inevitable freeze (stop what you are doing) and listen intently for about 15 secs to listen for the sound of running water. No water running? Then all is well.

When the pressure cracks spread across the ice, we can hear it coming. Then, as it hits the hull, there is a loud "BOOM". When this happens in the middle of the night (as it ususally does), there's always a wide-eyed moment when we lay still, listening for the sound of water gushing in. Somehow, the baby sleeps through this though. As we freeze in solid in our steel hull, the sounds take on a different nature. When the pressure cracks spread across the ice, we can hear it coming.

Ya'll are totally the toughest A30ers we know. John did several winters in Boston on our boat, but never needing a bubbler (busy harbor), and never at -16!! The picture of your neighbor on the ice is priceless. Come south, Strathy! Ya’ll are totally the toughest A30ers we know.
