a dozen on sunday
we had a dozen boats out on sunday. Wind was 10-13kts, We must have raced 8-10 races. There was a mile long course setup on nice ice with a slight pebble surface. I had a gps with me and registered two races with a max speed of 50.1mpg and 50.0mph and i wasn't the fastest
It was a great day and it was really cool to see so many boats out having fun.
now i hear the inter-city lakes are ready. Mid-week lake-calhoun anyone?
Tonka Bay ice
Mark forgot to say, it was 2-3 inches of almost perfect black ice. Only one hole noted, but marked with a few orange cones. It may not last long based on forcast next week. May even veture out to main lake today. It all looks solid!
