Unfortunatly due to an unusual warm front ,there is as of today no Lakes with Ice around or near Thunder Bay.The good news is a cold front is moving in so conditions could change fast.I will continue to update here and am keeping my fingers crossed for sailable conditions soon.As soon as I find ice I will report.

Unfortunatly after all the

Unfortunatly after all the hype a regatta here in Thunder Bay during November does not look like it is going to happen.This has been a very unusual November.Hopfully I have not discouraged people from comming here again when the conditions warrent.This location really has good potential for very early sailing.Talked with an owner of one of the resorts at the primary location,and he was very enthused about hosting a regatta.he said he would also sponser some door prizes,he has a heated garage for any maintence work.The lodgeing is located right on the Lake.He is willing to let it go for $20 a person.So the good news is I have made some good contacts for the future.
