[Paddlewise] Travel ing across "hard water"

In the excellent autobiography "Woodswoman", by Anne Le Bastile, I think,
there was scary description of her paddling across a lake as ice was
forming.  It formed too thin to walk on, but too thick to paddle through, so
she was basically trapped in the lake! I recall she had to move to the bow
of her canoe, use the paddle to hack a hole in the ice, paddle a few feet
through the hole, then repeat, and repeat, and repeat.  Be careful out
there!
