Groundhog Day celebrates the timing of the upcoming spring. In a similar way, Lake Minnetonka locals look for Gabriel Jabbour's (Tonka Bay Marina) steel hull icebreaker to celebrate the timing of the ice out, which also marks the start to the boating season. Above the icebreaker is making headway, just outside of Excelsior Bay, towards Tonka Bay Marina by cutting through and breaking apart the ice, helping it melt faster. Once the ice is out, the first boats back on the water from Tonka Bay Marina will the charter boats starting with Al & Alma's Belle Vista.
