Looking for open water

It's that time of year when everybody hauls their boat 20 miles across the frozen bay to get out to open water for hunting.

This would be a great spot to use a hovercraft. People head out across the bay using a snowmobile (towing a boat on a sled) and camp on the ocean beach for spring hunting. While they are there the ice starts breaking up and makes returning impossible, not enough ice for a snowmobile but too much for a boat. After a few weeks (maybe a month) the ice will all be gone and then you put the snowmobile in the boat to bring it home.
