Here are a few quotes about the GC regatta published in the various Madison media last week (names removed to protect the misquoted):
"When I was 16, I raced everything I could, motorcycles, cars. But as I grew older I discovered those were just things I did until I discovered iceboating. This is a blast."
"You can't be picky, this is probably one of the nicest pieces of ice in the country right now."
"This is probably the last place in the world to iceboat today."
"We've been here nine days and this is the first day of the regatta. It is sometimes very frustrating to wait on the ice."
"It must be in the genes."
