Info from Licensor: "I live in a tight niche community and we live life to the fullest here. When one gets in trouble we have their back. In the winter there is snow skiing, ice boating, snowkiting, ice fishing, and many other outdoor activities. In summer there are sandy beaches, Kite surfing, windsurfing, dune climbs, and an abundance of outdoor activity. This winter started out slow and when the ice finally formed many were quick to get out, this boat went through at the end of January and we had very cold weather right after so it was stuck in 14" of ice hanging in 60' of water by the mast and sail in the ice. My friend who owns the boat asked if I could come up with a plan and that's what we did when temps lightened up."
