A group of ten nordic skaters gathered at sunrise for a tour of Panuke lake during a one day window between two thawing spells. We navigated through smooth grey ice, snow drifted ice, open pressure ridges and gorgeous black ice that gradually thinned out to 4-5 cm at the far south end. The latter forced us to turnaround just shy of the last seven K of this very long lake. After zigzagging back north and then dropping into Blind bay to the portage over to Big St Margarets Bay Lake we parted ways with three members who had other commitments. The 1.3 k portage was well worth the effort as BSMB lake was well featured with many coves and islands as well as beautiful plates of 6-7 cm black ice. Waning sunlight and snowfall was our signal to return, just making it back on snow covered ice as the last of daylight departed. After 83 k our legs were heavy but our hearts were full with a memorable tour.
