- Organizer Bob Tidmore reports the tower entering the water at 1:58 p.m. on April 9, approximately $2,100 in ticket sales, and Mike Welke winning with a 1:52 p.m. guess. The thread also documents the tower's wiring, rope, ice conditions, and a contemporaneous video; these remain organizer and community reports, not an audited ledger or independent timing record.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 01 · t001436
