Swede & Whale Tail Lakes
10am Friday
Swede Lake- Completely frozen over with smooth ice about 1 1/2" thick in 5' of water. 2'-3' cracks appeared when I chopped through.
Whale Tail Lake- Completely frozen over with smooth ice (choppy around shore) 2"-2 1/2" thick in 5' of water. Ice is stronger than Swede, didn't crack when I chopped through and withstood a few lackluster jumps. (I'm such a chicken)

Update!!!
Drove out to Whale Tail - Saw several holes from an ice auger checking the ice like my self...using a hand drill poking holes every 30 feet....seems to be a solid 3"+ of ice on it. Wind was just ripping!
Sunday???
How much ice does a person need to sail?
Whale Tail Sunday
My cousin and I are planning to sail Whale Tail Sun.
Looks like 15-20 winds and 48+ hours of ice growing since last ice check.
Whale Tail Sunday...
Give me a call if you guys are going to go... and I will try to attach the boat to the wife's roof rack.

Local Twin Cities Lake Ice?
Is there any ice that is safe in a 50 mile radius? Whale Tail is close enough to work, but don't feel like falling thru.

Ice is NEVER SAFE...it might be suitable, but never safe.
Test Run this weekend...
I have a boat, on a trailer, and now the wife took the truck! No way to even get to the unsafe ice to find out if everything still works. That might be a good thing, but there is no smile in this face!
Might take a ride out to Swede & Whale Tail without the boat to check on the ice my self.
