we've all seen 5369 lead the silver fleet around, seems like an error that he isn't ranked?

Green Lake

Green Lake had a smooth snow-ice surface but has had serious slush pockets as the snow cover was sinking the ice and not completely re-freezing. On January 26th Mike Jankowski checked Green Lake and reported to the Governing Committee. The slush pockets were healing, but there were still some soft spots. In his view it would be a few days before it would be regatta ice. Perhaps Green Lake will be in shape by the time Green Bay is snowed out.
