Elk is now completely free of snow. Minimum 10" of hard green ice. 98% hard green ice with very few stripes of smooth hard white ice. No snow, no slush !! We have sailed a couple hundred miles in the last week,the warm weather completely melted the snow then the rain smoothed everything now after the freezing temps this is the best this ice has been this season by far.
We sailed all day today,the winds started out high but then fell off in the afternoon.Even when the winds were down to 4-6 mph I still sailed without effort. Skip STauber and I sailed Sunday until the winds fell to 4
Elk Lake is about 20 square miles and all frozen.
We will be sailing it every day...
