IT LOOKS LIKE TRAVEL WILL BE INVOLVED TO GET ANY ICE TIME. I NEED A COVER.

Small drifts I went thru on Sat. were no problem if enough speed was maintained, but if I had to push thru them to get started, it felt like mud. With the latest snow there are no open spots to get started in. Can you get started thru 2" of powder and a 15 MPH wind? I am just looking to save a little sweat finding out NO the hard way.

Just brought home a DN. I got written instructions stating to start out with a "close reach" into the wind. What is that? I have never seen anyone on an iceboat before much less me.
