Mother Nature scores huge upset! forces first time Postponement of the Great Western Challenge
After inspecting Green Lake, Spicer this morning... it's my sad duty to report that Mother Nature finally bested us... there are no known regatta grade sheets of ice in Minnesota, or Wisconsin or Iowa...
The Great Western Challenge Regatta, after consultation, is postponed one week...
ice checking, and potential sailing venues will be determined tomorrow afternoon for weekend club sailing, ice checking expeditions....
the First Ice Opti North American Championships REMAINS ON for this weekend, Eight Points Lake, Clare Michigan.
Details on Green Lake, Spicer, the lake is reported to have frozen on Sunday Night of this week, after the first storm, the second dumped a reported 2.5 inches of snow on the ice, it's blown around a bit, but is expected to be suitable for club sailing this weekend.

Thanks for the valliant effort!
Two major storms in four days is a pretty tough situation...
Hopefully in a week there will be numerous new venues available.
See you at the 2007 Great Western Challenge - redux!
