It was sweet..
We had a great day at Dead Lake. We setup a short course and did 10/3 lap races or so. Of course JD and the Doctor where up to speed imediately.. so I was chasing them around the course.
The lake is pretty big with a fresh sheet of hard ice. There was one small open spot out in the lake off to the left of the launch site. It's dirty ice with the cattails and farm dirt..
The sheet was at the minimum strength/thickness for sailing but was very consistent over our racing area. At one point we moved the course after the sheet cracked and you could see the cracks working as when all three us were together after the start.
