2009 Northwestern on Lake Geneva
I just got a report from JD;
He's driving around on the ice, hasn't seen any drain holes, really nice - spring ice... The regular friday morning registration/big boat setup/noon racing..
I guess tommy is in route today for the noon racing.
Sounds pretty good... expectations are high.

You guys missed some nice sailing
I went up early Sat and made the second DN race. Saturday was a little light, Sunday was a little strong, both days were 100% sailable on very fast ice with no snow at all.
Racing was called off for Sunday - reason was 14G22 at the airport at 9:30 am. 30 minutes later it was 14G18; when I left at 2 pm it was 10G18 and all type of boats were ripping about.
About 7 DN's rigged and lapped Geneva a few times with no issues.
In all honesty, it was not the velocity that was the show-stopper but rather the huge 45 degree shifts. I never auto-tacked a DN before today!
The Nites looked like they were having a super regatta with at least 7 races over two days.
