• Three Michigan men ice fishing in a homemade shanty on Saginaw Bay on March 6 went for the ride of their lives as winds nearing 50 mph pushed their structure about a mile across the ice, the Associated Press reported.
The men had spent the night before in the shanty and were aware that a storm was approaching, but thought they could ride it out.
But the next morning, someone onshore saw one of them struggling with the hut as it scooted over the ice.
It eventually ended up about 1.5 miles offshore before deputies arrived; the men were able to return to shore without rescue equipment and were unharmed. [Associated Press, 3/7/2022]
