A Purdy Fisheries vessel got stuck in an ice bridge in Lake Huron just north of the Blue Water Bridge on Wednesday, Feb. 17. Sarnia’s Rick Smith managed to capture these images as one of the company’s smaller vessels arrived and took several runs at the ice. With its help, the larger fishing boat managed to break free.
