Watching the Coast Guard blow up their new ice sled!

They stopped to pick up the parts they just blew off!
Weather has been great here, but the water is still a bit thick for boating. The Coasties have been out the last week training (playing) with their new ice sled. They get up to speed then throw over the rudders and spin......looks like a lot of fun to me. I was sitting here watching them making a run, when suddenly the sled started shooting parts in the air......(wonder how much that will cost us).... After some apparent adjustments, a couple walked back to the launch ramp and the remaining coasties limped the sled back. Too bad, it was enjoyable watching them. Well, that's what we do here in Minnesota in the winter....LOL!
